Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary has said that he wants to ask MS Dhoni why he was not part of the playing XI especially after a match in ehcih he scored his maiden ODI century.

Tiwary was dropped from the playing XI after a scoring a century in the previous match. After making his India debut in 2008, Tiwary scored a match-winning unbeaten 104 against West Indies in December 2011 in Chennai. However, he was subsequently dropped from the team and did not play the next 14 games.

“I never thought that after scoring a 100 for my country, getting a Man of the Match Award, I will not find a place in the playing XI for the next 14 games. But I also do respect the fact that the captain and the coach or the management had some other ideas as well because we as players have to respect whatever they were thinking at that point of time, maybe they thought otherwise,” Tiwary said in a video interview published on the FanCode App.

The next time Tiwary got a chance to play for India was after eight months when India toured Sri Lanka in August of 2012. 

The batsman scored 21 in the fourth ODI and followed it with a half-century before he was sidelined again for two years. 

He last played for India in 2015 in the three ODI series in Zimbabwe.

“I’ve obviously thought about asking him in the future,” Tiwary added. “I never got the opportunity, or you say courage, at that point of time to go and ask Mahi, our captain during that time, because we respect our seniors so much that we tend to hold ourselves back on questioning a few things. So, I haven’t questioned him yet.”
