Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The 2007 ODI World Cup disaster consequently saw the Indian team reluctantly opting for youth and Manoj did get the odd chance although it was baptism by fire - on a tour of Australia. Against the high profile Australian bowling attack, he found it difficult to get going and had a horror run. Still, his domestic performances kept him in the hunt and he became the automatic replacement whenever a major batsman was injured. It was only in the 2011-12 season that Manoj became a regular in the squad although getting a consistent run still continued to elude him.
It won't be wrong to say that Manoj Tiwary's biggest competitor was Rohit Sharma for a spot in the side and the Mumbaikar did get far more support even during his lean patches that were extremely long at times. And then, since 2013, there was no looking back for Rohit either. However, Manoj also didn't help his cause as he got injured several times, mostly at critical junctures. Despite his tragic Team India days, he did show a lot of composure in the IPL where he was a vital cog of the KKR batting line-up. Who can forget his nerveless cameo in the 2012 final when he smacked consecutive boundaries in the final over to clinch glory for his side?
The KXIP were quick to latch onto Manoj's services at the 2018 auctions to bolster their Indian batting strength. He continues to excel on the domestic circuit and is an experienced campaigner who is always ready for a crunch situation. A national call up now seems increasingly unlikely for the Bengal star but he doesn't seem affected by that these days. Considering his skill set which also includes his utility leg spin, Manoj is definitely a valuable addition to any side that he plays for.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Manoj Tiwary is not the most fortunate man in Indian cricket. An aggressive batsman from Bengal, he impressed everybody with 796 runs at 99.50 in the 2006-07 Ranji Trophy, in the process breaking Bengal records and forcing his way into the India touring party for Bangladesh. On match eve in Mirpur - and everybody knew he was going to debut - he injured his shoulder severely during fielding practice. When the debut finally arrived in early 2008, he was jetlagged and in Brisbane, completely out of league against a searing Brett Lee. He had to wait for more than three years for his next international match, and was asked to open the innings because he was replacing an underperforming opener in a second-string side. Another failure followed.
In his formative years Tiwary idolised Kevin Pietersen. In his first three seasons in domestic cricket, his love for the Pietersen style of batting showed not only in his preference of the front foot and general aggression, but also in how he would keep pulling up his shirt sleeve. Having courted a mix of hard luck and the rise in standard of cricket at international level, he has cut down on the flamboyance and has strived for a better all-round game. The Bengal cricketing fraternity has nicknamed him chhota dada (in reference to Sourav Ganguly's nickname, dada), and passionately awaits the kind of comeback Ganguly made from six years of wilderness after his debut, incidentally in Brisbane. He was handed another chance to stake his claim for a permanent place in the national side during India's injury-ridden 2011 tour of England, when he was called up to replace Rohit Sharma in the ODI squad. He made his maiden ODI century against West Indies in Chennai later that year, but was mysteriously benched for months. After a long wait, he got his chance again in the ODIs in Sri Lanka and was named in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 squad. But his injury woes returned to haunt him over the next two domestic seasons and he returned for the 2013-14 Vijay Hazare Trophy after an eight-month layoff. He was recalled to the one-day squad for the tour of Bangladesh in June 2014.
