http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manoj-Tiwary-c1890 terms ODI century against West Indies as best moment of his career – Cricket News Update
Manoj Tiwary, the 26-year-old cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 as the greatest moment of his cricketing career.
The explosive batsman, who powered Kolkata Knight Riders to victory over Chennai Super Kings in the final of Indian Premier League season five by bludgeoning two consecutive boundaries off Dwayne Bravo’s final over, has said that
the ton against West Indies was special considering it was a career saving knock.
While speaking to PTI before departing with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rest-of-India-c838 A team for the tour of the West Indies, Tiwary said, “I know people will remember those two boundaries but my ODI century against West Indies was the best moment of
my career. I played through pain that day and also it was a make or break innings for me.”
The skipper of Bengal continued, “I am extremely proud of the two boundaries I hit against CSK but the situation (was) entirely different when I played for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. I hadn't done much in the earlier matches and that could well have
been my last chance. I was in acute pain due to cramps. It was an innings that kept me in the mix.”
Tiwary has played most of his matches at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. However, the batter has had great success at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai as well. The solitary ODI hundred that Tiwary managed was at this ground on December 11,
2011, and he also won KKR’s maiden IPL trophy at the very same venue.
The 26-year-old said that Eden Gardens will always have a special place for him in his heart. However, he also holds dear MA Chidambaram Stadium bearing in mind the two greatest moments this ground has brought him.
When asked how it felt after getting axed from the national team, even though he scored a century in his last game.
Tiwary did not show any remorse and held that such things are just part of life. The batter further said that at first he used to get bought down from such things but now he remains focused and lets his bat do the talking.
