Manoj Tiwari and Gautam Gambhir spat: West Bengal captain Manoj Tiwari has retired from all forms of cricket. Manoj also played 12 One Day International matches for Team India. Apart from this, Tiwari participated in 148 first-class matches. 38 year old Tiwari is currently the Sports Minister in the Bengal government. Manoj Tiwari ended his cricket career with a win against Bihar on Monday. He has more than 10 thousand runs to his name in first-class cricket, but Tiwari has often been at the center of many controversies during his career.
Manoj Tiwari said, “I think my fight with Gautam Gambhir was a big mistake. If you meet my friends, you will know that I am not the type of player who argues with his senior players. I could have avoided that fight. “I have good relations with my seniors, but a fight has tarnished my image.”
The former batsman further said, “Yes, it is true, what he said shows his immaturity and he should not have said so. In Kotla, the tents of journalists are set up inside the grounds and that is why someone heard this. I feel even worse about this fight because later we played cricket for the same team and also talked a lot together, when we played together for KKR, we used to talk a lot.”
Manoj said, “Gambhir and I have a lot of passion for sports, but because of this passion sometimes something happens which should not happen in front of people. However, after this we neither met nor talked about this issue.”
Let us tell you that in 2015, the Ranji Trophy match was being played between Bengal and Delhi at Firoz Shah Kotla Stadium (now – Arun Jaitley Stadium). In the match, Manoj Tiwari was batting at number 4, who had earlier batted wearing a cap. After some time, he gestured to Sumit Narwal to ask for a helmet while bowling. On this, he had an argument with Gautam Gambhir standing in the slip, after which the players intervened. It is known that both the players have played cricket together for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a long time.
At the same time, Manoj Tiwari had recently demanded the cancellation of Ranji Trophy from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Tiwari made this demand by posting on social media. After this he was fined 20 percent of the match fee. Manoj had said in his post that young players are not interested in Ranji Trophy. Their entire focus is on the Indian Premier League (IPL), so Ranji cricket should be stopped.”
Manoj Tiwari gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni
Now after retirement, Manoj Tiwari said in an interview, “One day I would like to know from Dhoni why I was dropped for some consecutive matches even after scoring a century and winning the Man of the Match award. In the series against Australia in 2012, Virat (Kohli), Rohit (Sharma), (Suresh) Raina were all struggling to score runs, but I scored a century and was the man of the match, but after that I was thrown out. . When I get a chance, I will definitely ask this question to Dhoni. Now I have nothing to lose.”
