Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary didn’t mince words as he came down hard on the Indian cricket team’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate for his remarks on . For the unversed, Ryan, when asked about Rohit Sharma’s low returns in the ODI series against New Zealand, said that the former captain was short on cricket leading into the series, adding that the wickets were also not very easy, which made Rohit struggle in the series.
The remark made furious, and he said that Ryan ten Doeschate’s achievements are not even five percent of what Rohit Sharma has achieved in his career. He requested the assistant coach to refrain from making demoralising comments.
“With a lot of respect, I would like to tell Ryan Ten Doeschate that he was with me for four years at KKR. No doubt he is a very good person, but the kind of comment he has made, I think, he should have thought about it. He has also played international cricket for the Netherlands. If you look at his performance in international cricket, I am saying this with all due respect, it is not even 5% of what Rohit has achieved in his career, not just as a batter but also as a captain,” Tiwary told PTI.
“He has given the nation so much happiness by winning the Champions Trophy also and after that, talking like this, that too when he is in the team, not like he is sitting at home and commenting, he is a part of the management, and telling like this about your player is demoralising. I don’t know why he said that. He has to reflect on this. I feel he must not make such comments,” Tiwary added.
Rohit Sharma In Tremendous Form
Rohit Sharma scored 26 and 24 in the two ODIs against New Zealand, but he has been in great form. He scored a century and fifty in Australia and then followed it up with two blistering half-centuries against South Africa. With a game to go in the series, Rohit would be keen to play a big innings and silence his critics.
