Gautam Gambhir Under Fire: Tiwary's Shocking Claims

Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary has made a disturbing allegation against ex-Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir, claiming that he was threatened by Gambhir in a washroom during his time at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2013. Tiwary's revelation has sparked a heated debate about Gambhir's behavior on and off the field.

According to Tiwary, the incident occurred when Gambhir, who was the captain of KKR at the time, allegedly told him "aaj ke baad tujhe kabhi khilaunga nahi" (after today, I will never select you again) in a washroom. Tiwary stated that he initially got along well with Gambhir when he joined KKR in 2010, but their relationship deteriorated over time. He claimed that Gambhir was threatened by his consistent performances and media attention, which led to their argument.

This is not the first time Gambhir has been involved in a controversy. He has been involved in several on-field confrontations, including with Kamran Akmal, Shahid Afridi, and Virat Kohli. In 2013, Gambhir and Kohli got into a heated exchange during an IPL match between KKR and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Their rivalry continued in a 2023 match between RCB and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), with Gambhir appearing visibly angry.

Gambhir's behavior has also been questioned by other cricketers. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly was allegedly disrespected by Gambhir during a 2015 Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Bengal. Tiwary claimed that Gambhir used profanity against Ganguly, who was then the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal. The allegations come amid widespread criticism of Gambhir's tenure as India's head coach, which began last year.

The controversy surrounding Gambhir's behavior has raised questions about his suitability as a coach and his impact on the Indian cricket team. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Gambhir will respond to these allegations and what actions will be taken against him.
