Former Indian cricketer explains why he called Gambhir ‘hypocrite’
Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary has explained why he called Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir a hypocrite. Recently, He launched a blistering attack on Gautam Gambhir following India’s tremendous loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Ahead of Australia series, India had suffered series defeat against New Zealand at home.
Tiwary stated that Gambhir had earlier criticised BCCI for signing up overseas coaches, but now he himself has roped in Morne Morkel and Ryan ten Doeschate.
"Why did I call him a hypocrite? It is because of one of his interviews if you remember. In one of the interviews, he said, 'All these foreign coaches, all the guys who come from abroad, have no emotions, they have no feelings. They earn money and enjoy themselves.' When the time was there for him to select all the Indian coaches and all the Indian-origin support staff, why did he put forward the names of Ryan ten Doeschate and Morne Morkel? He got everything he wanted but he is not able to produce the results. Actions don't match his words, so I called him a hypocrite," said Tiwary.
Tiwary also questioned Gambhir’s appointment to the top job saying that he lacked coaching experience.
"You tell me, before taking up coaching in the Indian team, did he have any coaching experience in first-class cricket or IPL or anywhere in the world? Did he coach any one of the teams? Mentoring and coaching are totally different. That is where everyone mixes up. That is where fans mix up, and a lot of others mix up. Coaching and mentoring are totally opposite. When you don't have experience, how do you expect to perform? That is what is happening right now, and the results are there for everyone to see," said Tiwary.
