Although Gambhir’s birthday tweet for Singh didn’t go down well with some of the die-hard fans of former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. They accused the Delhi southpaw of demeaning and understating the contributions of the greats like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli.

Fans immediately took to Twitter to lash out at Gautam Gambhir. They called out the latter for being jealous of his own teammates.

Here’s how fans reacted:

I don't know how this guy lives with so much jealousy deeply ingrained in his heart for likes of Kohli & Dhoni. Never ever seen anyone as jealous as him in my whole life.

Notably, Virat Kohli recently completed his 72^nd international century against Bangladesh in the third and last of the three-match ODI series. The 34-year-old former skipper scored 113 runs off 91 balls with 11 boundaries and two sixes to his name.

The Delhi batter has surpassed the former Australian batting great Ricky Ponting to become the second batter in international cricket to score the highest century. Now, he is only behind the former legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli has now 44 centuries in the ODIs alongside 27 Test centuries to his name, he has also a T20I century to his name in an international career of more than 14 years.
