Former India Cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has landed in yet another controversy. Now former pacer Vinay Kumar has blasted Majrekar for calling him a 120 kmph bowler. Vinay Kumar retired back claiming that Manjrekar’s speed gun needs urgent servicing.
The incident took place during Day 3 of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. During his commentary, Manjrekar went on to explain, how Vinay Kumar who despite being low on pace was a top wicket-taking bowler. He further claimed that bowlers like him needed a little bit of grass on the pitch, and at speeds of 120 kph, they would go on to scalp wickets.
“But I think that’s gone. Medium pacers like the Vinay Kumars, with no disrespect to him, were topping the wicket-taking charts because all they needed to do with grass on the pitch was put the ball at 120 kmph in the right area, and they got wickets,” Sanjay Manjrekar said.
