Disputes are often seen on the cricket field between players and coaches. Team India’s current head coach Gautam Gambhir has recently been in the news for his rift with senior players. However, this was not the first time that his name had come into controversy. According to former cricketer Manoj Tiwari, the sourness of his relationship with Gambhir has also affected his career.
There was sourness in IPL
Manoj Tiwari and Gautam Gambhir both played for KKR. Gambhir was the captain of the team and Tiwari believed that despite his performance, he was deliberately kept lower in the batting order. Manoj revealed in the media that after the match at Eden Gardens, Gambhir threatened him and expressed his anger by holding him by the collar. Such a situation arose that the team’s bowling coach Wasim Akram had to intervene and calm the matter. Manoj Tiwari believed that this incident became the reason for the premature end of his KKR career. After this the team released him.
Ranji Trophy controversy
After the KKR controversy, the feud between Gambhir and Tiwari also came to the fore in Ranji Trophy. In the year 2015, there was a competition going on between Delhi and Bengal in Ferozeshah Kotla. Manoj Tiwari was batting at that time. He was wearing a cap and when he came to know that the fast bowler would bowl the next ball, he asked for a helmet from the dugout for protection. This displeased Gambhir and he allegedly abused Tiwari. Seeing the matter escalating, the umpire had to intervene.
impact on career
Due to these controversies, Manoj Tiwari’s career in IPL and Team India came in premature danger. Due to Gambhir’s aggressive nature and anger, coordination in the team deteriorated and opportunities for the young player reduced.
