A big controversy has arisen about Team India’s new coach Gautam Gambhir. His old partner and former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwari has made serious allegations against him. Tiwari says that after Gambhir became a coach, there has been a lot of tension in the atmosphere of the Indian team.

Manoj Tiwari targeted Gambhir

Manoj Tiwari said, “Ever since Gautam Gambhir has become the coach of Team India, many controversies have come to the fore. Many senior players have either retired or have been shifted.

Tiwari said that Gambhir’s attitude has been quite strict and non -cooperative towards senior players. He alleged that Gambhir wanted not to raise any questions on his decisions. If a player like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli or R.K. If Ashwin disagrees with something, he is excluded from the team or is shocked.

“Gambhir did not want senior faces in the team”

Manoj Tiwari also claims that Gambhir removed those players from the team who could have questioned the decisions of the team. He said, “Ashwin retired in the middle of the Test series against Australia last year. Then Rohit and Virat also said goodbye to Test cricket. This is not a coincidence, but it is the thinking of team management behind it.”

After the arrival of Gambhir, many big decisions were taken. Removing Rohit Sharma from ODI captaincy and making Shubman Gill captain, Virat Kohli’s selection is out of the process, making domestic cricket compulsory for senior players and giving a place in the team directly in the team, these steps have also sparked debate between fans and cricket experts.

“Rohit-Virat is the real hero of Indian cricket”

However, Manoj Tiwari also said that he is confident that Gambhir will not completely out of ODI to Rohit and Virat. He said, “Both players are precious to Indian cricket. Rohit and Virat have given a lot for the country in their career. They are not just a player, but the identity of Indian cricket.”

Indian team continues to tussle

After these allegations, the discussion of factionalism and differences in the Indian team has again intensified. Some former cricketers believe that Gautam Gambhir’s coaching style is very aggressive and not every player is comfortable in that environment. In the coming months, it will be interesting to see if this dispute is calm or there is a new earthquake in Indian cricket.

BCCI is already in preparation mood for T20 World Cup 2026. It is reported that the Board of Control for Cricket in India has offered former captain MS Dhoni to become a mentor. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India won the first edition of the T20 World Cup (2007), India will land as defending champions in the next World Cup. Taking a dig at the question of Dhoni being offered mentor offers, former cricketer Manoj Tiwari said that did he pick up the phone? He said that it is difficult to contact him.

Former Indian cricketer and currently West Bengal minister Manoj Tiwari while talking to news agency ANI said, “Did he pick up the phone? Because as far as I know it is difficult to contact him on the phone. The answer to the message is also very difficult, many players have said this in their time. If they read the message, what will you answer or not, then it will be given to them. Whether you will accept it or not, it is very difficult for me to say what will they bring in Team India. “

It will be interesting to see Dhoni and Gambhir pair

Manoj Tiwari further said, “The one who has been a captain and a player as a player will come in handy. Because all the players are emerging and remain the stars of Team India, respect them a lot and listen to them. The biggest thing will be that the pair of MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir will also be seen.”

Let me tell you that MS Dhoni became the mentor of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2021. In that edition, the Indian team lost to Pakistan and New Zealand in Super 12 and could not even reach the semi -finals.

Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwari is constantly in the headlines. He has accused MS Dhoni of not supporting, has used the word ‘hypocrisy’ for the current head coach of Team India Gautam Gambhir. Now he has not spared Jaspreet Bumrah either. Bumrah played only 3 Tests out of five on England Tour. Manoj Tiwari says that the player who is chosen in the squad should ensure that he plays all the matches.

Jasprit Bumrah not older than the game

According to Cric Tracker, Manoj Tiwari said, “From my perspective, when you already know that a player is not fit to play all the five matches of the series, then it is clear that you will not choose it. You will not choose that player because no one can be bigger than the game of cricket. Whether he is Jaspreet Bumrah, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or any other cricket is not bigger than any cricket game.”

It should also be noted that Bumrah had played all 5 Tests on the Australian tour, but in the last match played in Sydney, he had injuries in the waist. Due to this injury, he could not play in the Champions Trophy 2025. Perhaps this was the reason that the team management was forced to take a decision that Bumrah should play only 3 Tests in England.

Bumrah should not be selected …

Manoj Tiwari did not stop here. He further said that the team management or the selector should know that if a special player will not be able to play all the matches, then he should not be selected. He said, “One reason can also be understood that if there was no backup in fast bowling, then the selection of Bumrah was necessary, but when you have such bowlers sitting on the bench, who are constantly doing well. In such a situation Bumrah should not have been selected.”

Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwari has become a topic of discussion. He has also taunted MS Dhoni to Gautam Gambhir. On one hand, he said that MS Dhoni never supported him as captain. Now he has described Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of the Indian cricket team, as ‘hypocritical’. The relations of both Tiwari and Gambhir have not been very good. His abuse incident in a Ranji match played in Delhi is not hidden from anyone. Manoj Tiwari has taunted Gambhir in the context of India vs Pakistan match.

During the talks with a crick tracker, Manoj Tiwari mentioned an old interview of Gautam Gambhir, in which Gambhir said that India should not play with Pakistan until terrorism stops from across the border. Manoj also mentioned Gambhir’s statement that he did not play with Pakistan, which he gave after the Pahalgam terror attack. Gambhir’s words were clear that Team India should not play any match with Pakistan, he gave this statement as the head coach of Team India.

Gautam Gambhir is hypocritical …

Gautam Gambhir’s old statements were telling something else. Now the situation is that in the Asia Cup 2025, India and Pakistan can clash not one or two but 3 times. They will have a group match on September 14 and after that both teams reach the Super-4 stage and then the finals, thus both teams may collide 3 times.

Manoj Tiwari said, “I have always considered Gautam Gambhir as a hypocritical. He is a hypocrite because when he was not a coach, he said that he should not have a match between India and Pakistan. What will he do now? Gambhir is now the head coach of the Team India who is going to play with Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Gambhir does not resign saying that he will not be a part of the Indian team, which is not going to be a part of the Indian team.”

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has recently launched the Bronco Test to check the fitness of the players. This new way of investigation has been brought especially for those fast bowlers who have been struggling with fitness related problems. Its purpose is to improve the fitness of players and improve stamina. Meanwhile, former India cricketer Manoj Tiwari believes that this Test method has been brought so that Rohit Sharma himself declares ODI retirement.

According to Cric Tracker, Manoj Tiwari said that not everyone counts Rohit Sharma among the most fit cricketers, but his performance has been such that no one can sit on the bench.

Someone wants Rohit Sharma to retire …

Manoj Tiwari said during a conversation with a crick tracker, “I think it will be difficult to get Virat Kohli out of the 2027 ODI World Cup plan, but I suspect that Rohit Sharma will be kept in the World Cup plan. I keep a close watch on the things happening in Indian cricket, and I believe that a few days ago, the Bronco Test which has been brought a few days ago, I do not have a purpose in my eyes. Who does not want Rohit to be a part of the team later, that is why Bronco Test has been brought. “

Former cricketer Manoj Tiwari also emphasized that he does not know who has brought the Bronco Test? From his perspective, it will be very difficult for Rohit Sharma to pass this fitness test.

What is Bronco Test?

Recently, the ‘term’ of Bronco Test has been repeatedly used, now is this bronze test? Bronco checks the fitness of the players on the basis of test running. It is also helpful in controlling the stamina, mental strength and heart rate of the players. It has a shuttle run of 20 meters, 40 meters and 60 meters, between which the players will not get any break, as in the Yo-Yo test. By doing this, the players in many sets will have to fix a total of 1200 meters in 6 minutes.

Dhoni did not like

Manoj Tiwari further said that he cannot say anything for another. However, Dhoni repeatedly proved that he is a great captain. He said, “Dhoni’s leadership quality was very good, but why I did not get support, I can not know this. Only Dhoni can answer this. But I think there were some special players whom Dhoni loved very much and was giving him full support at that time.”
