"Gautam Gambhir Abused My Family, Said Bad Things About Sourav Ganguly": Manoj Tiwary

Former India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Manoj Tiwary has gone on a rant in criticism of current senior national team head coach Gautam Gambhir. Tiwary and Gambhir have been teammates in the past, not just in the Indian Premier League but also for the Delhi state team. As Gambhir faces criticism over his poor handling of the Indian team, owing to the recent results against Australia and New Zealand in Tests, Tiwary went on to brand him a 'hypocrite', who doesn't do what he himself preaches.

Gautam Gambhir's Ex KKR Teammate Rips Into Him, Says "Wrong Decision To Appoint Him Coach"

Former India batter Manoj Tiwary on Thursday said current national team head coach Gautam Gambhir is "not the right choice" for the top job and he is only adept in mentoring IPL franchises, citing the side's recent struggles to support his remarks. Under Gambhir, India lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years, and they hit a new low when they were whitewashed 0-3 by New Zealand at home, unprecedented in the country's cricket history.

BCCI Asked Tough Questions Over Ravichandran Ashwin's Shock Retirement, Team Management Under Fire

India's historic twin Test series victories in Australia were greatly influenced by their impressive bowling line-up. However, the gap between Jasprit Bumrah and the other bowlers was clear in their recent 3-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series loss to Australia. While Bumrah stood head and shoulders above everyone by picking 32 wickets in his 151.2 overs at an average of 13.06 and strike rate of 28.4, India's other pacers comprising Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy took 40 scalps in 351 overs, with their average and strike-rate reading 34.82 and 52.6 respectively.

Ravichandran Ashwin "Was Insulted": On India Star's Abrupt Retirement, Ex-India Star Drops Bombshell

Former India batter Manoj Tiwary on Thursday said current national team head coach Gautam Gambhir is "not the right choice" for the top job and he is only adept in mentoring IPL franchises, citing the side's recent struggles to support his remarks. Under Gambhir, India lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years, and they hit a new low when they were whitewashed 0-3 by New Zealand at home, unprecedented in the country's cricket history. Recently, India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade, and Tiwary, who has had a dressing room altercation with Gambhir during their playing days in the IPL, took note of these reversals since his appointment as the coach.

"Bitter Pill And We Have To Accept It": Ex-India Star On Test Series Loss To Australia

Australia reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Sydney after ten years meant India couldn't achieve its ambition of making a three-peat of Test series wins on Australian soil. It was a tour where India's batting didn't click in unison, as seen from them being unable to go past the 200-run mark six out of nine times. Barring a few bright sparks from the willows of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Kumar Reddy and KL Rahul to some extent, India's batting lacked the consistency, big scores and partnerships. Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (barring the hundred in Perth), and Shubman Gill had a tough time, while Rishabh Pant also struggled during the tour.
