Manoj Tiwary may not have enjoyed a glorious run with the Indian Cricket team, but in his short time with the side, he had one unforgettable moment with the side when he made his first ever ODI hundred against the West Indies at Chennai in a winning cause and also won the Player of the Match award in the process.

In the post-match presentation, the right-hander dedicated his performance to those passed away a few days earlier in a hospital tragedy in Kolkata.

"I enjoyed it. It wasn't coming onto the bat, it made my game easier. Generally I play spin pretty well, so I made sure I took advantage of the loose balls. I have to say that the team management have backed me really well, and made me comfortable in the dressing room. I didn't hydrate enough before the match, that is my mistake. I want to dedicate the award to all the people who died in the Calcutta Hospital tragedy," he had said then.
