LBW by a Certain Pie-Chucker: Gautam Gambhir Reacts to Pietersen’s Question

Responding to former English cricketer Kevin Pietersen’s question, former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir on Thursday reacted with a sarcastic jibe. A curious Pietersen posed a question to Gambhir about why he does not smile.

The former left-handed opening batsman used a picture from England’s tour of India in 2008, where the Indian team is celebrating the wicket of the Englishman after he is dismissed by Yuvraj Singh.

The banter started when Star Sports announced a session of #AskStar where they have asked fans to hurl questions towards Gambhir, Pietersen and Danny Morrison.
