Gautam Gambhir made racist remarks about Ganguly and bengalis: Manoj Tiwary

Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary on Sunday alleged that his Delhi counterpart Gautam Gambhir and his teammates made unsavoury comments about former India captain Sourav Ganguly and Bengal, which upset him to a great deal.

The Bengal captain, who paid a visit to match referee Valmik Buch, after the Ranji Trophy match ended said that entire video footage is going to BCCI and he has also spoken to Ganguly personally on this matter.

"Yesterday, I spoke to him (Ganguly) and told him about the whole incident. He was very upset because, somewhere his name was also raised and that is why I was also very upset about it. I felt really bad," Tiwary told mediapersons after the match.

"There was something that was said. Yes he (Ganguly) felt hurt when I spoke to him about it and I was also upset about it because we represent Bengal and we don't want to listen to something that is against our community," Tiwary alleged.

The Bengal skipper also claimed that saying things about a particular "community" wasn't in good taste.

"Obviously, they were pressurising me but that does not mean he has the right to abuse me. Sledging in a competitive way is good but you don't have to sledge taking your father or mother's name. You don't want to cross line when you play competitive game," said Tiwary.
