Anyone up for debate?
Bengal cricketer Manoj Tiwary, who played with Gautam Gambhir for India and for the Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL, disagreed with Gambhir on Samson being called the best young cricketer in India.
He instead opted for anther KKR star Shubman Gill for the tag. He replied to Gambhir saying, "Best Indian young batsman is @RealShubmanGill Gauti bhai"
