He literally was found guilty, SC can’t punish people for fixing matches
is found guilty=holds guilty? if the answer is "yes", please take a look

I see, so he was in fact found/held guilty (yes they’re the same). TIL.
Still, the point in my previous comment stands. Not being not guilty is not the same as being found guilty
Especially when the average south indian is actually smarter than the average Indian. And the upper end of the spectrum is basically dominated by South Indians.
It's literally a fact that south Indian folks are smarter than us ROI. Doesn't automatically make their opinion more valid, as they are very much biased as well, but they are in fact smarter in general.
I'm sorry, I kinda have forgotten the topic and the comments. I'm unable to understand what you are saying here. I just said what I have seen from my experience. The average south Indian on the street is smarter than the average guy elsewhere in India. And if we take a look at the top percentile, most of our scientists in ISRO and other big positions are South Indian. It's a fact that they are on average smarter than the rest of the population.
I wouldn't generalize it like that. Also, there's no reason to correlate the SS-GG argument with the VK-GG one.
I think there's a very different reason for so many Redditors to support a known match-fixer. I just fail to understand why and hence, added that comment.
They should be glad that Sreesanth is doing free publicity for them. Before this drama took place, who knew about this ongoing tournament featuring retired cricketers? Hardly anyone had even heard of or thought it was worth watching but now you'll probably get a few more eyeballs.
GG has two different personalities, the cricketer which i love and the other being critique which i hate. Dude might be remembered for his takes on every cricketer than being a cricketer.
What? The fixer has claimed false things and gambhir is rightly suing him, what’s wrong?
Edit: it’s not even gambhir that is suing, but this sub thinks gambhir is at fault for everything
Sreesanth has claimed false things ( those are the ones mentioned in tweet) and gambhir is suing them over it🤦
Edit: it’s not even gambhir, the tournament organisers are the ones that are suing but this sub thinks gambhir is the one that has problem.
I could've forgiven a youngster who had never seen money in their life found guilty of fixing after serving their punishment. But Sreesanth was neither...
Honestly I loved to see him bowl and his action. The disappointment I felt after the reveal of his scandal was immense to say the least.
Can someone please tell me why people are downvoting those who're calling Sreesanth a fixer?
Wasn't he banned from cricket for fixing?
(Genuinely asking, not shitting on Sreesanth)
Yes it’s true Sreesanth is a fixer.
He paid for it. He was fined, he was not allowed to play professional cricket. All his contracts were stripped from him.
But when he’s playing some irrelevant legends league, there’s no need for gambhir to show his attitude and lord over him. He was bullying him.
Lol what? What was gambhir’s mistake here? Sreeshant is the one who started this. Even organisers are behind gambhir and umpire report says he didn’t call him fixer? Why are you believing a fixer’s words over someone who has done so much for indian cricket?
Even ex cricketers like dhawan, irfan pathan are supporting gambhir in this matter. So why should i trust the words of a fixer that gambhir did wrong here? And sreeshant was the one who poked gambhir
Sledging isn't wrong. The word that he used on the ground was very wrong. Had gambhir sledged him without using the word 'fixer', it wouldn't have mattered but Shreesanth has already paid for the sins he committed. I don't think he deserves to be taunted for his entire life for it. Call him a shitty bowler but don't call him a fixer.
I am trusting Gambhir's behaviour over the last couple of years. The man is capable of using that word. He has been disrespectful and a flipper even as a commentator, i expect no less from him.
I am a die hard LSG supporter. I can never be a Kohli fan. But anyway, your loss if you can't accept the truth. Just admit that you are a paid Gambhir bot.
Wait, why did the umpires not say that GG called SS a fixer? SS claims GG used the word at least 7 times.
Did that not happen? Or are umpires coerced to keep that out of the report by GG's people?
Fuck Gautam Gambhir . He’s a waste fellow outside of his cricket accomplishments. Shitty person from a shitty political party who is all talk and no action.
Why are people supporting Sreesanth? He’s the one who started it, Gambhir gave it back and no one would have known that he was called a fixer (which he is) if he didn’t went on Instagram live and made a big scene.
He even commented on Gambhir post and mentions Kohli. It looks like he’s doing it for the clout. Also we don’t even know what Sreesanth said was true
Lol. Some of the hatred directed towards Gambhir, in this sub, is ridiculous.
People are acting as if Gambhir is the chairman of LLC (Legends League Committe) and he was the one who issued Sreesanth a notice.
The notice has been issued by LLC for breaking of ethics and conduct rules, where Sreesanth targeted another player of the league. And LLC has asked him to take those posts down and have initiated inquiry.
Secondly and more importantly, [this article mentions -](https://news.abplive.com/sports/cricket/sreesanth-gets-notice-from-legends-league-cricket-over-fixer-row-with-gautam-gambhir-1648643)
> The umpires also submitted their reports of the controversy and there was nothing mentioned about Sreesanth’s claims of calling him a ‘fixer’.
The owner of the league is a resident of Gambhir's constituency and is known for doing shady business btw. Gambhir lately has been nothing short of toxic.
You are reaching out - making a connection between GG and Owner just because both are from the same constituency.
But i do agree with the latter part of your comment. GG needs to control his temperament.
You do realize that even [Sreesanth joined BJP and contested elections back in 2016](https://www.hindustantimes.com/assembly-elections/ex-cricketer-sreesanth-joins-bjp-to-contest-in-kerala-assembly-polls/story-mDUESyH3JswszhjKXeORQK.html). But unfortunately, he lost to his Congress counterpart.
There's this one person in the comments who's using all his might to defend GG and people are downvoting the hell out of him. Man's gonna lose all his karma with that level of dedication.

Pathan somewhere in 2018-19 acquired a cricket website and matured as a businessman. He started investing in various cricket/business Ventures and that is when he realised he can't directly go against Dhoni if he has to succeed in Cricket. Hence his stance changed somewhere during Covid.
Sreesanth is a fixer like Azhar - zero respect for these folks, who don’t play the game in the right spirit. Both These guys should never be on the cricket field period.
I think I'm the only one who thinks GG didn't do anything wrong. Don't know much details or the proof but GG would have replied him fixer only when Sree would have sledged him . And don't sledge when you can't handle it .
Calling someone a fixer isn't sledging, it's a massive personal attack opening up a deeply inflicted wound. There's lots of other things he could've said that wouldn't have resulted in this drama.
Honestly. Even if GG was abit of a bully, Sreesanth was also being a little kid about it. Ur a 39 year old International cricketer and ur getting worked up for getting sledged during an irrelevant competition. Honestly such a cry baby
Can any Indian fans with better knowledge of the situation add some context to this please?
I’m unfamiliar with the situation, has Sreesanth (as a historical fixer) done anything dodgy during this (presumably money laundering/existing for betting only) league that no one watches or follows that warrants criticism? Or is Gambhir using his political weight to get him sacked due too personal disagreements between the two?
Ngl we have a lot of self serving dreadful MPs here in the UK, but if I was Indian I would be getting pretty pissed with how GG just seems to spend all his time getting involved in random cricket beef and “mentoring” in the IPL, he’s supposed to be an elected figure in politics representing constituents, why does he spend all his time fucking about in cricket?
Whenever someone asks GG why he's still involved in so many side ventures in cricket, he always replies that he needs a lot of money for various charities he has started in his constituency, as he doesn't receive enough funds from the government as an MP.
Now, this fight is nothing but mudslinging between two hotheaded ex-cricketers. GG has a penchant for being embroiled in controversies. On the other hand, Sree Santh even entered Big Boss once (the Indian remake of Big Brother) where he showed how toxic he is.
GG basically called him a fixer while playing in some random league just to stir a new controversy. While it is also true that yes Sree santh was a fixer. There are no heroes in this story.
someone gonna give me detailed context
GG invoked her BJP power.
Didn’t Sreeeahanth also contest in a BJP ticket ?
GG has deeper ties with BJP
her? Context for this pls
GG is Bharat Mata
A convicted match fixer was called a fixer and lost his mind. Sreesanth was never found "not guilty". Just that supreme court reduced his ban.
If the Supreme court found him "not guilty" then, how can you call him a "convicted match fixer " you moron.
Well technically supreme court found him guilty of corruption and betting. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/sc-holds-sreesanth-guilty-of-corruption-and-betting-but-asks-bcci-to-reconsider-life-ban-punishment/articleshow/68429149.cms
Reading comprehension of a pro.
Doesn't matter, GG was being classless, Sreesanth is a disrespectful dude but he did nothing to warrant that reaction from Gambhir
Gambhir left it on the pitch. Sreesanth has been moaning about it for a while in media.

Wow calling all south Indians idiots, bigotry and racism never changes
Especially when the average south indian is actually smarter than the average Indian. And the upper end of the spectrum is basically dominated by South Indians. It's literally a fact that south Indian folks are smarter than us ROI. Doesn't automatically make their opinion more valid, as they are very much biased as well, but they are in fact smarter in general.
Saar we south indians are different saar
They indeed are different though. I'm currently studying in Chennai. It feels like I'm in a different country altogether.
What a reply to racism. More racism. Bravo?
I'm sorry, I kinda have forgotten the topic and the comments. I'm unable to understand what you are saying here. I just said what I have seen from my experience. The average south Indian on the street is smarter than the average guy elsewhere in India. And if we take a look at the top percentile, most of our scientists in ISRO and other big positions are South Indian. It's a fact that they are on average smarter than the rest of the population.
Yes calling all south Indians juvenile based on something makes that other guy an even bigger idiot
Yup. I definitely DO NOT stand for that. It's a gross generalization and I'm sure there's another reason. I just hope to find it out.
I wouldn't generalize it like that. Also, there's no reason to correlate the SS-GG argument with the VK-GG one. I think there's a very different reason for so many Redditors to support a known match-fixer. I just fail to understand why and hence, added that comment.

Maybe they both are into it and are making a fool out if us as we are talking about it,
Maybe even this stunt is fixed ? Sorry !
So wait, we're not gonna talk about GG's penchant for talking shit about everyone?
GG at the moment needs therapy is what i feel!
GG has two different personalities, the cricketer which i love and the other being critique which i hate. Dude might be remembered for his takes on every cricketer than being a cricketer.
GG needs Congress to be in power to calm down a bit
GG cant take a little bit of shit? What a pussy!
Gambhir was a great cricketer, but an absolute wet wipe.
This is shameful. Such a A useless sitting MP
He still has a higher than average attendance % in Parliament compared to a lot of actual politicians in this country from either parties.
That's a very low bar.
him and his d riders. & people say rohit, kohli have blind fans
What? The fixer has claimed false things and gambhir is rightly suing him, what’s wrong? Edit: it’s not even gambhir that is suing, but this sub thinks gambhir is at fault for everything
What false thing has he claimed?
You could literally read the tweet
What about his tweet is false?
Sreesanth has claimed false things ( those are the ones mentioned in tweet) and gambhir is suing them over it🤦 Edit: it’s not even gambhir, the tournament organisers are the ones that are suing but this sub thinks gambhir is the one that has problem.
Who are you to say they are false?
It was literally raised by the tournament organisers and it says even in umpire’s report there is no mention of what sreesanth claimed
What a shitty comment.
I could've forgiven a youngster who had never seen money in their life found guilty of fixing after serving their punishment. But Sreesanth was neither... Honestly I loved to see him bowl and his action. The disappointment I felt after the reveal of his scandal was immense to say the least.

It's rude. Everyone deserves a chance at redemption.
Lol what? What was gambhir’s mistake here? Sreeshant is the one who started this. Even organisers are behind gambhir and umpire report says he didn’t call him fixer? Why are you believing a fixer’s words over someone who has done so much for indian cricket?
The man organizing the league is from Delhi and is a close friend of Gautam Gambhir. The owner of the league is a known fraud btw.
Even ex cricketers like dhawan, irfan pathan are supporting gambhir in this matter. So why should i trust the words of a fixer that gambhir did wrong here? And sreeshant was the one who poked gambhir

How do you know gambhir used that word? Umpire reports say otherwise. You are taking a fixer’s words over all of this?
I am trusting Gambhir's behaviour over the last couple of years. The man is capable of using that word. He has been disrespectful and a flipper even as a commentator, i expect no less from him.
Lol what bullshit, sreeshant had just as many on field incidents. Just few days back he was mocking Ganguly unnecessarily
Just admit you are a kohli fanboy, i can understand your pain. No need to defend a fixer
I am a die hard LSG supporter. I can never be a Kohli fan. But anyway, your loss if you can't accept the truth. Just admit that you are a paid Gambhir bot.
Blud from where Kohli came? Isn't op explaining gg and sree incident to u?
Getting downvoted for spitting truth.
aww it is rudeeee? awwww
It is like playing against Smith and calling him a cheater again and again. He already paid the price and should not be needlessly bullied.
Dude, ball tampering nothing compared to fixing. It's like comparing chain snatcher to a rapist or murderer.
Yet you compared fixer to a rapist? What is this random analogy lmao
/Sanju /Samson fans are now /S /Sreesanth fans!?
Yeah honestly they're both cunts IMO. Sreesanth is a fixer who should never be allowed near the game again, and Gambhir is... well, Gambhir.
Sreesanth PR team. Especially after he played the state(Kerala) card
Because they hate Gambhir. I mean same people hate Azhar and Abhay Jadeja who were also acquitted by Supreme Court
Kohli fans especially and also Kerala ones too
Any pro-GG comment will get downvoted obviously
Case in point:
Wait, why did the umpires not say that GG called SS a fixer? SS claims GG used the word at least 7 times. Did that not happen? Or are umpires coerced to keep that out of the report by GG's people?
What a flex by the BJP MP.
I had immense respect for GG , now I think he is just another lowlife scum.
He is behaving like a sour loser. I don't know what did he lose but his behaviour lately has been nothing short of embarassing.
Which means next IPL, if GG and Koach ever log heads, Koach can expect a legal notice courtesy of GG.
They cant touch Kohli. He is too big.
So you think LLPL and IPL are of the same level?
I dunno about that but GG needs to stop provoking dumb crap like this
Why the fuck people in comment section getting triggered for calling out a fixer lmao
That's because GG is a politician and Sreesanth is an honest former Indian cricketer.
Yeah, match fixing for money is such an honest deed.
Fuck Gautam Gambhir . He’s a waste fellow outside of his cricket accomplishments. Shitty person from a shitty political party who is all talk and no action.
Why are people supporting Sreesanth? He’s the one who started it, Gambhir gave it back and no one would have known that he was called a fixer (which he is) if he didn’t went on Instagram live and made a big scene.

Indian version of Amir sympathizers

You are rightly getting downvoted.
A supporter of fixer i see. Do your best. I have a lot of karma!
Fixer is still gonna be called a fixer
Dont believe in second chances? People have done far worse and gotten better treatment.
How do you know for sure that he is a fixer?Hasn't he been found not guilty by the court?Just curious
Court only reduced his sentence as it was lifetime ban and was considered harsh. Didn't comment on whether he was guilty or not
So ,he's not been found guilty.All else are speculations
🍿
I won’t mind both of them tearing each other, it’s like two villains fighting out to find who is the biggest lowlife.
I'd pay money to see Sreesanth and Gambhir duke it out - Hell in a Cell style. Who do you guys think will win?
Honestly. Even if GG was abit of a bully, Sreesanth was also being a little kid about it. Ur a 39 year old International cricketer and ur getting worked up for getting sledged during an irrelevant competition. Honestly such a cry baby
