Dinesh Karthik labels Gautam Gambhir the 'laziest athlete', former southpaw cannot stop laughing - watch

Former India batsman turned IPL mentor Gautam Gambhir is known as a serious cricketer among the fans. He seldom laughs and it takes quite something to get even a smile out of the former southpaw.

However, former India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik managed to make Gambhir laugh over an incident.

Karthik recalled a memory from their playing days, in a clip that has recently gone viral on social media. In the clip, Karthik labeld Gambhir as the 'laziest athlete' he has ever played with. He recollected a hilarious incident from their India A playing days. Even Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh, Irfan Pathan and Ajit Agarkar are also sent into fits of laughter.

In an old interaction, Karthik spoke about Gambhir's laziness by saying he would not change a song because he did not want to go towards the fast forward button. Even he mentioned that Gambhir asked Karthik to pass him the TV remote of his own room!

“Of all the people I have seen in my life, he is by far the laziest athlete.”

"I was walking past his room, he was lying down on his bed, and he said "DK, come here, change the channel for me please," Karthik recalled as the rest of the panel burst into laughter.

"You can be lazy, but that's a bit too much. He could've walked two steps, but he wasn't even willing to change the TV channel," said Karthik laughing.
