Gautam Gambhir had an incredibly eventful Thursday. The Kolkata Knight Riders skipper was in fine form as he helped his side thrash Kings XI Punjab in an Indian Premier League encounter at the Eden Gardens. But that wasn't the only reason why Gambhir was in the news.

During the day, the 35-year-old fired on all cylinders while lending his support to CPRF jawans who were attacked by stone pelters in the Kashmir valley. In a series of tweets, Gambhir came down heavily on the miscreants.

"Kicked, jeered, abused: Videos of paramilitary jawans manhandled by Kashmir mobs go viral," wrote Gambhir. "For every slap on my army's Jawan lay down at least a 100 jihadi lives. Whoever wants Azadi LEAVE NOW! Kashmir is ours. #kashmirbelongs2us. Anti-Indians hav forgotten dat our flag also stands 4: saffron - fire of our anger, white - shroud for jihadis, green - hatred 4 terror," he concluded.

Here are his tweets:

While Gambhir did gain popularity for his nationalist stand, there were many who weren't pleased with his radical views.

Here are some of those reactions:
