6 times when cricketers fought on Social Media
From Ashwin-Gibbs to Sreesanth-Aakash Chopra, here we look at five instances when cricketers have engaged in social media wars and have fought on social media.
2. Michael Vaughan and Sanjay Manjrekar
It is no secret that Michael Vaughan and Sanjay Manjrekar don’t share a great camaraderie. They have disagreed with each other on multiple occasions on social media. There have been times where they took constant digs at each other. The latest one being in the 2019 World Cup in England.
Manjrekar made the news for publicly criticizing Ravindra Jadeja who later lashed out at the former India player on Twitter. Ahead of India’s semi-final against New Zealand, Manjrekar put out his predicted team on Twitter which included Jadeja. Vaughan retweeted and said, “I have seen that you have picked that bits and pieces cricketer !!!”
The current Indian commentator was miffed and replied, “‘Predicted’ my dear Vaughan…not ‘my’ team.” It was then during the semi-final, Vaughan put out a couple of tweets when Jadeja was bowling well and termed him as ‘bits and pieces’ taking a jib at Manjrekar who reacted by blocking the former England captain on Twitter.
