Gambhir's tweet came out just hours later after a video of him emerged on social media in which he was arguing with former Indian pacer Sreesanth in the Legends League Cricket.
Gautam Gambhir was one of the government-nominated directors on the DDCA Apex Council when Rajat Sharma won the elections and ruled Delhi cricket for that short while.
The Congress supporters targeted Gautam Gambhir and alleged that the player had dragged politics into the game after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party.
As tensions escalated, Rajat Bhatia, who also hails from Delhi like Kohli and Gambhir, stepped in to pull the two apart. Later, the umpires took Gambhir away as Kohli headed to the pavilion.
