Manoj Tiwary who was a part of the Kings XI Punjab last year during IPL 2018, got a rude shock after he remained unsold in the IPL 2019 player auctions held a couple of days ago in Jaipur. Tiwary was so shocked that he posted a tweet wondering what went wrong with him to have remained unsold in the tournament. Like any cricketer, Tiwary was also disturbed with his ouster and posted yet another tweet and said that he cannot digest the fact that he remained unsold in the auctions. This time it was former Australian player David Hussey who rendered him support and said that the Bengal cricketer fits into any dressing room and deserves to play in the IPL.

Manoj also thanked his fans for the support and also bashed at his haters for being unable to understand his anger in this situation. “Good morning friends. Really appreciate the fact that U all have shown so much love and care through your replies to my last tweet. Still, I cannot digest the fact that I won’t be part of IPL 2019 this coming season but I know it’s a reality which I have to live now and move on from here and keep focusing on the things which I can control. But I will never shy away from my point of view on certain experiences and issues.”

Here’s David Hussey’s reply to the post.
Hope you’re right! @tiwarymanoj is a great man who should be playing in at least one franchise. A team player who fits in any dressing room!
