Sanjay Manjrekar’s commentary in ICC World Cup 2019 has stirred controversy in the field of cricket. His recent taunts and demeaning comments about Indian bowler Ranvinder Jadeja and his stint in the tournament has triggered severe backlash online.
Jadeja has only fielded for India so far and hasn’t got a chance to be a part of main playing XI. Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar took a dig him about the same reports Hindustan Times.
“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. But in 50-over cricket, I would rather have a batsman and a spinner,” he said.
His comments did not go well with the Indian all-rounder. Replying to this, Jadeja tweeted, “Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I’m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved.i have heard enough of your verbal diarrhea”.

Don't you dare make such comparison!Ravindra Jadeja has earned his stripes to become the player he is today. It's been hard work.Everyone knows how Sanjay Manjrekar got into indian cricket team n eventually what he did is not even worth discussing @IndiaToday https://t.co/SpyIiYhbaT
