Manoj Tiwari, who came into limelight due to his statements on Gautam Gambhir, has once again made a big allegation against the head coach. Manoj Tiwari alleged that Gautam Gambhir had abused him and his family. He even abused Sourav Ganguly. Not only this, Manoj Tiwari said that Gautam Gambhir can never drop Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from the team. Not only this, he also raised questions on the decisions taken on the selection of Team India and also accused them of nepotism. Let us tell you what Manoj Tiwari said in an interview?
Manoj Tiwari said on Gautam Gambhir, 'When Gambhir fought with me in the Ranji Trophy match in 2015, everyone had heard how he had abused me, my family and Sourav Ganguly. Some people saved Gambhir. Manoj Tiwari further said, 'Team India's playing eleven is also not being selected properly. After all, how did Devdutt Padikkal get preference over the consistent run scorer Abhimanyu Easwaran? After all, how did a bowler like Akashdeep, who performed so well in the New Zealand and Bangladesh series and went to Australia, get dropped from the Perth Test?
Manoj Tiwari further said that when Gambhir was not the coach, he always used to say that there are no foreign coaches in the coaching setup. Because they are concerned with money and not with the team. Manoj Tiwari further said, 'Now Gambhir has become a coach but he has kept two foreign coaches in his coaching staff, that is why I called him a hypocrite.'
Manoj Tiwari also said that Gautam Gambhir can never exclude Virat and Rohit. According to Tiwari, the decision to drop out of the team in the Sydney Test was Rohit Sharma himself. However, Manoj Tiwari did not find Rohit's decision right because the captain excluding himself in this way affects the morale of the team.
