Veteran Bengal cricketer Manoj Tiwary has come forward and taken a hilarious dig at Sunrisers Hyderabad after they snatched defeat from jaws of victory during their IPL 2021 clash against southern rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.
'Free advice to the franchise’s owners': Manoj Tiwary
Taking to the micro-blogging site, Tiwary wrote that he has got free advice to all the franchise owners after which he urged them all to start having players who have talent with temperament rather than increasing the number of support staff in the team or else the team will end up being second best on most occasions.
Free advice to the franchise’s owners:-

Rather than increasing the number of support staffs in the team, start having players who have talent with TEMPERAMENT otherwise most of the times team will end up being second best #SRHvRCB #Overratedplayers #IPL2021
However, the cricketer-turned-politician's tweet did not go down well with the netizens as they came forward and criticised him for needlessly blowing things out of proportion. Here are some of the reactions.
Ok bro you’ll get a support staff offering soon👍🏻

And remember you are indirectly taking a jab at a player who has an ODI hundred at Australia, where you were literally found dancing to the tunes of Aussie bowlers..Just saying.

SRH suffer second straight loss in IPL 2021
Bangalore were reeling at 95/4 in the 14th over after being asked to bat first by Hyderabad skipper David Warner and that is when the Australian middle-order batsman stepped to the four and took the SRH bowlers to the cleaners as he played a counter-attacking knock. He was dismissed in the last ball of the innings for a brilliant 41-ball 59 including five boundaries and three maximums at a strike rate of 143.90 and took RCB to a fighting total of 149/8 from their 20 overs.
In reply, skipper David Warner (54), and, Manish Pandey (39) added 83 runs for the third wicket after Sunrisers Hyderabad had lost wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha cheaply and at one point it appeared as if they were cruising towards an easy win.
However, once Warner was dismissed, it was just a matter of time before the Orange Army suffered a dramatic batting collapse.
The turning point of the contest came in the 17th over when left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed took three wickets in one over as he accounted for the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Pandey, and, Abdul Samad respectively. Afghan leggie Rashid Khan tried his best to keep the 2016 champions in the hunt but once he was run out going for a non-existent second run, it was curtains down for SRH as they were restricted to 143/9 from their 20 overs.
