Gautam Gambhir had earlier tweeted India men's hockey medal win is bigger than all cricket World Cup victories.
Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir is once again trending on Twitter for his latest tweet. This time he has reacted to his ex-teammate Harbhajan Singh's comment comparing Javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra's gold medal win in Olympics with the Indian cricket team's 2011 World Cup win.
Harbhajan, on a news channel, said that Neeraj’s gold medal in Tokyo Olympics is greater than the win of the 2011 World Cup. India had won the 50-over Cricket World Cup after 28 years and it remains very close to the heart of Indians.

Gambhir reacted to Harbhajan's comment and wrote, “True that @harbhajan_singh But You shouldn’t have said this! You should not say this You shall never say this!". Later, Harbhajan responded to Gambhir with emojis.
The 23-year-old India's track-and-field athlete created history with a magnificent throw of 87.58 meters at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 which helped him win a gold medal in the Javelin throw.
Neeraj ensured India win their first Olympic medal in athletics. His gold medal is only second by an Indian individual at Olympics as he joined Abhinav Bindra, who won the Gold in the 2008 Olympics.
