The dispute between Gautam Gambhir and Manjoj Tiwary is no more hidden from anyone. Gambhir's strong personality has given him a lot of success, but this has also landed him in trouble many times. It can be seen that Tiwary is on a way to take out all the past matters against the Indian cricket team head coach. Once again in a recent interview, Tiwary has accused Gambhir of using inappropriate words and giving threats. The former Indian batter accused Gambhir of being jealous of new players and when they get attention from the media.
Tiwary said,
"When a new player emerges, he is given space in the newspaper; maybe that is one of the reasons why he got angry with me. If I had had a PR team, I could have been the India captain today."
"Once, we had a heated argument about my batting position at the Eden Gardens. I was very upset and had gone to the washroom. He barged in and said, 'This attitude won't work. Tujhe kabhi khilaunga nahi (I won't give you a game). This and that. I confronted him and asked him why he was talking that way. He was giving me a threat. Wasim Akram also came in. He was our bowling coach, so he calmed things down; otherwise, haathapai bhi ho sakta tha (There could have been a physical fight too)."
The duo had an infamous fight during a Ranji Trophy match in 2015 where both of them were involved in a fight. He said,
"It was a Ranji Trophy match, and I was taking guard at the crease. He was abusing from slips. Nobody should use such words. Maa-behen ki gaali. Then he said, 'Shaam ko mil, main tujhe maarta hu.' (Meet me in the evening; I am going to thrash you.). I said, 'Shaam ko kyun abhi maarlo (Why evening?). let's fight now)'. I was also strong."
"The umpire came in between, and he pushed him away too. Then the over ended, and I was at the non-striker's end. He came to mis-off and started abusing me again. Umpires can't do much. He is a big player, and they are afraid that he can use his influence against them."
