Manoj Tiwary Criticizes Rohit Sharma's ODI Captaincy Removal, Cites Gambhir's Influence

Former cricketer Manoj Tiwary criticized the decision to remove Rohit Sharma as India's ODI captain despite his recent Champions Trophy win, suggesting head coach Gautam Gambhir influenced chief selector Ajit Agarkar's choice. Tiwary expressed disappointment over the management's handling, calling the move disrespectful and lacking cricketing logic. While supporting Shubman Gill as the new captain, he believes Rohit offers a stronger chance for the 2027 World Cup and wished BCCI officials, including Jay Shah, had intervened to retain Rohit.
