Launching an unexpected scathing attack on Gautam Gambhir, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar on Monday said the India head coach lacks the 'right demeanour and words' while interacting with the press and urged the BCCI to keep him away from the media duties.

Manjrekar's comments came hours after Gambhir addressed the media in a pre-departure press conference ahead of the five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
