Tiwary’s IPL career
Manoj Tiwary played for the Kings XI Punjab last year and couldn’t do much following which the franchise released him ahead of this season. The Bengal cricketer could only muster 47 runs from five outings at a strike-rate of around 106. In the auction, no team showed interest in him and went unsold. But with the Delhi Capitals calling him for trials, Manoj Tiwary was once again hopeful of playing in the T20 tournament.
However, Tiwary had a brilliant season with the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017. Batting in the middle-order, he was exceptional amassing 324 runs in 15 matches at a superb strike-rate of 137. He also played a role of the finisher in the team along with MS Dhoni. But since then the player has been unluckily sidelined and it seems that he won’t be a part of any team this season.
He has currently donned the commentator’s hat in the ongoing season and will most probably be continuing with the same role.
