Former India batter Gautam Gambhir has recalled how a fight with a rival cricket team got him suspended for two months during his last year of school. While speaking to Jatin Sapru on his YouTube show 'Over and Out', Gambhir revealed that his 'prefect' badge was also taken away from him due to the fight, and he was only allowed to sit for the board exams. "I've got into a lot of fights in school... In 12th standard, when every kid wants to go to school, attend the last days, and I was playing Ranji Trophy as well - I got suspended for two months. I straightaway sat in the board exams after that. Even my prefect badge was taken away. We had gone to Mayo College and were playing this ITSC tournament and we got into a fight with DPS," said Gambhir.
