Manoj Tiwary, the former Indian cricketer has recently spoken about the his controversial drop during when he was at the peak of his career. Tiwary was dropped unceremoniously from the national team after scoring a century for India in the ODI match against the West Indies in 2011. It was nearly eight months before he was sent back into the playing XI. Recently, in a chat, he said that he was disappointed at how things unraveled and also managed to make some indirect remarks at then-captain MS Dhoni, saying that he would discuss everything in the future. Tiwary said that getting dropped at such a crucial stage of his career really dented his confidence.

Manoj Tiwary’s Confidence Was Crushed

“See, it happened a long time ago. It’s a matter of the past, but yes, dukh to hota hi hai (It was sad). I would lie if I said it wasn’t saddening. What can we do? It’s life; but it needs to move forward. If I am to write my autobiography or I do a podcast of my own, I will reveal it all. But it wasn’t easy. When a player is at his peak, when his confidence is crushed, it causes a change in mindset,” he told Cricket Addictor.
