Aur paji

Legends League Cricket: Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary has expressed his gratitude to Harbhajan Singh for his inclusion in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2024, acknowledging the off-spinner’s integrity with the words, saying, “Paji juban ke pakke hain” (Harbhajan is true to his word).

Tiwary, a veteran of Indian domestic cricket, made his debut for Bengal in 2004 and has accumulated nearly 10,000 first-class runs at an impressive average of 48.56. With 29 centuries and 45 half-centuries to his name, the 37-year-old has also excelled in List A cricket, scoring 5,581 runs at an average of 42.28 in 169 matches.

Tiwary’s international career, though brief, featured a memorable century against the West Indies in December 2011 during his 12-match ODI stint. After battling injuries and sporadic selections, he played his final series for India in 2014.
