“Goode to the game of cricket.

I will always be grateful to this game and to the GOD, who has always been my side throughout,” Tiwary said in an Instagram post.
Thanking his former teammates, loved ones, and coach Manabendra Ghosh, Tiwary wrote: “Manabendra Ghosh, my father figure like coach has been the pillar in the cricketing journey. If he had not been there then I would have not reached anywhere in the cricketing circle. Thank you Sir and wish you a speedy recovery, as your health is not keeping well. Thank you to my Dad and Mom, they both never put pressure on me to focus on my studies rather they encouraged me to continue in cricket. Big thank you to my wife, @roy_susmita7 who has always been on my side from the time she came into my life.”
The Bengal-born cricketer has played for Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings XI Punjab, and Rising Pune Supergiants in the Indian Premier League.
He was a part of Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Indian Premier League (IPL) 2012-winning team. He contributed with a three-ball 9 including batting at No.7 to take KKR over the line against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to chase down the target of 191 with two balls to spare.
