Former Indian Cricketer Manoj Tiwar has slammed a coach Gautam Gambir for creating an atmosphere of forcing Rohit SharmaVirat Kohli, and R Ashwin to retire.“If the senior player is there, if Ashwin is there, if Rohit is there, then these people have played so much cricket, these people are set up more than the head coach or other staff. These people will raise a question if they disagree with one thing. You just make sure that these people are not there, basically, “Tiwar told Inside Sport.“I have noticed that since this coach took role, many controversy had arisen.“Many things are not good for Indian cricket, I believe that since he was a head coach, Ashwin had retired.“Rohit and Virat have done so. We have seen that Gambir is inconsistent, “he said.“I believe the situation has been created, the atmosphere that has been created, and the pressure on these players -Rohit and Virat has become an incredible servant of Indian cricket.“They have taken the Indian cricket to a new height. Players who give their hearts and souls, we have seen, have given them all.“If these players feel that things affect their image and they are no longer wanted in the dressing room, then they may consider retirement.
