Manoj Tiwary Explosive Allegations Against Gautam Gambhir: Former India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batsman Manoj Tiwari has criticized the current senior national team head coach Gautam Gambhir. Tiwary and Gambhir have been teammates before, not only in the Indian Premier League but also for the Delhi state team. Gambhir has been criticized for his poor handling of the Indian team in the recent results in the Test matches against Australia and New Zealand, with Tiwari terming him a ‘hypocrite’ who does not practice what he preaches. .
Recently, following Gambhir’s criticism, especially from Manoj Tiwari, India’s fast bowler Harshit Rana, who made his Test debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, came to his defence. But, Tiwari is not surprised by Rana’s defence.
For example, why wouldn’t Nitish Rana and Harshit Rana support Gautam Gambhir? Harshit Rana played in Perth in place of Akash Deep. How was this possible? What did Akash Deep do wrong? He bowled brilliantly against Bangladesh and New Zealand. As a fast bowler, you dream of bowling in favorable conditions, but you left him out and included Harshit, who does not have that much first-class experience. Akash Deep has great records. This is a completely biased selection. That’s why the players will come forward and defend him,” Tiwari told Hindustan Times.
“I have not said anything wrong. This is PR I am talking about. This has never happened before. When something or someone speaks the facts, people come forward to defend that person, but they Don’t know me. I only speak on facts. PR is quite clear,” he said. Tiwari also opened up on some old chapters of his relationship with Gambhir, saying that the latter also abused his family and said bad things about former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly.
Tiwari said, “When he fought with me during the Ranji Trophy match in Delhi, everyone heard every word that came out of Gautam Gambhir’s mouth. Be it speaking bad about Sourav Ganguly or abusing my family. Yes, he was saved by some people. I am talking about the process of selecting players and selecting them in the playing eleven. Akash Deep was dropped in favor of Harshit Rana. If you think Harshit is so good, why didn’t you keep him for the rest of the series? Akash Deep has no voice.”
Tiwari is skeptical about Gambhir’s decisions in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He questioned the selection of players like Harshit Rana and Devdutt Padikkal, relying on players with other proven first-class cricket performances. He said, “How was Devdutt Padikkal included in the Test team, he was out of the team. When Abhimanyu Easwaran was in the team and was scoring so many runs continuously, then how did he come into the team? He has scored so many runs. He Why was he not selected and why was he not given number 3? Such things are happening and the results are in front of everyone.”
