Gautam Gambhir and his jalebis have been trending on social media for quite some time.
Speaking in his defence on the entire jalebi controversy, Gambhir was visibly upset and had claimed that he will quit jalebis, if doing so will reduce Delhi’s pollution.
#WATCH: Gautam Gambhir, BJP MP says.”Agar mera jalebi khane se Delhi ka pollution badha hai, toh main hamesha ke liye jalebi chhod sakta hoon…10 minute mein mujhe troll karna shuru kar diya, agar itni mehnat Delhi ki pollution ko kam karne mein ki hoti toh hum saas le pate.” pic.twitter.com/K2oW5qokht

Twitterati, which was already buzzing with a lot of gambhir situations, was seen mocking the politician turned cricketer.
@GautamGambhir dude, the problem is not that you are eating jalebis. The problem is that you are eating it instead of attending the pollution control meetings 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Clearly, netizens weren’t impressed with Gambhir lashing out on the journalist and want him to focus on better and more important things in Delhi.
