Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir and Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary do not share the best of relationships on and off the field. During the match between Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Pune, Tiwary once again got into a verbal spat with the KKR skipper. The incident happened during the 15th over of the match when Gambhir was seen giving it back to Tiwari in his usual manner.
The Bengal-lad too was seen responding and the chat between the two continued for some time. The relationship between both the players is known to be stained for quite a few years now.
This is not the first time that Tiwary and Gambhir got into a verbal spat with each other. Earlier, in 2015, they nearly came to exchanging blows during the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Bengal played at Feroz Shah Kotla. In fact, in an unprecedented ugly gesture, Gambhir even pushed umpire Srinath, who was trying to get him out of the way to hit Tiwari.
In the auctions for IPL 2016, Tiwary, who hit the winning runs in IPL 2012 for KKR was not retained by the franchise and went unsold. However, IPL 2017 has been a revelation of sorts for the Bengal batsman who recently lost his father to cancer.
Sources says that it was during their days with KKR together, where the relationship soured.
