Gambhir gave his statement in reply to the post that Shashi Tharoor had made praising him. Gambhir's reaction seemed as if he had tried to target someone while talking.

Shashi Tharoor praised Gautam Gambhir

First of all, know what Shashi Tharoor wrote in praise, after which the same was seen in Gambhir's reaction to it. Shashi Tharoor posted that he met his old friend Gautam Gambhir in Nagpur and got a chance to talk openly. He wrote that after the Prime Minister in India, Gambhir is probably doing the most difficult job. Every day millions of people question his decisions. But, he keeps moving forward without wavering with complete calmness and determination. His calm determination and capable leadership should be praised. Best wishes to him for the challenges ahead.

Gautam's 'serious' reaction goes viral

Now know the reaction that Gautam Gambhir has given on this post of Shashi Tharoor. Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir first thanked Shashi Tharoor. But, what he wrote next caught everyone's attention. Before thanking Gambhir, he wrote that when all the commotion stops, the truth and logic regarding the alleged unlimited power of a coach will automatically come to light. Till then I am laughing at the fact that I am being pitted against my own people, who themselves are the best.

Thanks a lot Dr @ShashiTharoor! When the dust settles, truth & logic about a coach's supposedly unlimited authority will become clear. Till then Im amused at being pitted against my own who are the very best! https://t.co/SDNzLt73v5

Is the target on them?

Now the question is, who are those people who are pitting Gambhir against his own people and if he is being pitted against whom? There is no answer to these questions in Gambhir's reaction to Shashi Tharoor's post, but it is believed that this post of the head coach of the Indian team is pointing towards its selection committee and especially Ajit Agarkar. However, this cannot be said with certainty.
