This was not cricket – face-off between Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwary during Ranji Trophy match in Feroze Shah Kotla

It was most unexpected of two captains to have had a spat on the field during the Ranji Trophy match held in Feroze Shah Kotla grounds. The rival captains Gautam Gambhir of Delhi and Manoj Tiwary of Bengal nearly came to exchanging blows. Gambhir had moved towards Tiwary to hit him and he also had come charging at the Delhi skipper.
When the umpire K Srinath intervened to break them off, Gambhir apparently pushed him out of the way. Incidetally, touching the umpire is considered to be a grave offence in cricket and such an action could even invite a ban.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 24 October 2015.

It seems both Ganbhir and Manoj exchanged words and tempers kept rising. Cricket is a gentleman’s game but, incidents do happen on the field at the heat of the moment. Anyway, the umpires will have to decide on the quantum of punishment to be meted out. This has been fixed at 70% of match fees for Gambhir and 40% match fees for Manoj.
