I want to ask Dhoni why I was dropped when neither Kohli nor Rohit scored runs: Forgotten India star's biggest regret

Hindustan Times  

Arguably, the most difficult side to crack into has always been the Indian cricket team, irrespective of the format. On Monday, as Manoj Tiwary, a first-class behemoth, hung his boots one last time after leading Bengal to a stunning win over Bihar at the Eden Gardens in their final league-stage game of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season, the former India cricketer revealed his biggest regret in his career where he questioned a certain MS Dhoni act when the legendary wicketkeeper was a captain of the Indian team. Forgotten India star mentioned his biggest regret in his career Tiwary made his debut for India in 2008 and played 12 ODIs and three T20I matches across seven years and eight different series. I would like to ask Dhoni why I was dropped from the team after scoring the century, especially in that tour of Australia where nobody was scoring runs, neither was Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Suresh Raina. Giving a reminder of his numbers in first-class cricket and his knocks against Australia and England in practice matches, Tiwary said that the Indian selectors preferred Yuvraj Singh despite his efforts in domestic cricket.
