It seems like former Indian cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has nursed his old wounds. In the ongoing India vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup warm-up game, the commentator said, ‘When Ravindra Jadeja is batting, I better shut up’. Since there was a bitter history between Jadeja and Manjrekar. As both players were involved in verbal fights in the past, this statement has become the talk of the town for now.
Ravindra Jadeja vs Sanjay Manjrekar: The spicy cricket banter
It all started in 2019 when Manjrekar called Jadeja a “bits and pieces” cricketer during the 50-over World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. He also stated, “I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players, which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50-over cricket. In Test matches, he is a pure bowler.”
Although this statement didn’t fit well with Jadeja, who snatched his stament on X and said. “Still, I have played twice the number of matches you have played, and I’m still playing. Learn to respect people who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhea.”
Pant is back in action, while Jadeja looks sluggish against Bangladesh
Speaking more about the ongoing warm-up game between India and Bangladesh. The men in blue have posted a decent score of 182 runs in the 20 overs. Rishabh Pant once again showed why he deserves to be in this arena, scoring 53 runs with an amazing strike rate of 165.
Although Ravindra Jadeja looked sluggish while batting, as he made just 4 runs in 6 balls. His form is going to play a crucial role going into the group stages of matches. Wickets are well suited for spinners in the USA and the West Indies, and along with Kuldeep Yadav, he is also a frontline bowler.
