Manoj Tiwari, who came into the limelight due to his statements on Gautam Gambhir, has once again made a big allegation about 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 exclude 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 accused them of nepotism. Let us tell you what Manoj Tiwari said in an interview?
Manoj Tiwari said on Gautam Gambhir, 'In 2015, when Gambhir fought with me in the Ranji Trophy match, everyone heard how he 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. How did Devdutt Padikkal get preference over Abhimanyu Easwaran who scored runs consistently? How did a bowler like Akashdeep, who went to Australia after performing so well in the New Zealand and Bangladesh series, get dropped from the Perth Test.'
Why did Gautam Gambhir choose a foreign coach?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 not interested in the team but in money. Manoj Tiwari further said, 'Now Gambhir has become the 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's own. However, Manoj Tiwari did not find Rohit's decision right because the captain dropping himself in this manner affects the team's morale.
