Former cricketer Manoj Tiwary has criticized captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir after India’s Test series loss to New Zealand, ending an 18-series home winning streak. Tiwary pointed to decisions made in the rain-hit opener in Bengaluru, where India chose to bat first. He questioned the team’s selection choices, noting the exclusion of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. Tiwary warned that these choices could lead to “cracks in the dressing room.” India now hopes to recover in the third Test starting November 1 before a crucial five-Test tour in Australia that may impact their World Test Championship hopes.
