'Are you ever right?' - Twitter hilariously trolls Sanjay Manjrekar for his 'being a parent' tweet

Cricketer-turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar draws more headlines for his antics behind the mic as well as on his social media handles than he ever did during his nine-year International career. Remember the 2019 World Cup? Remember his comments on star all-rounder during the quadrennial event? Remember when he termed Ravindra Jadeja as a “bits and pieced cricketer”? And, when Jadeja not only retaliated not only on Twitter but also with his on-field shenanigans?

During the 2019 World Cup, there were two words that went on to become a rage: 3D and bits-and-pieces. Both words are literally the antonyms of each other and the former was coined by the chief selector MSK Prasad when he was justifying the selection of all-rounder Vijay Shankar over batsman Amabti Rayudu.

During the league stage of the World Cup, fans on social media as well as the pundits wondered why Ravindra Jadeja- a real three dimensional player in every sense was not given a chance. Manjrekar, who was commentating during the quadrennial event had passed a remark on the all-rounder, stating he was not a big fan of “bits-and-pieces” players

“I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point in 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,” Manjrekar had said.

The comment by Manjrekar did not go down well with the star all-rounder and Jadeja took to Twitter to vent his displeasure at the former Mumbai and India batsman. Jadeja wrote, “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 diarrhoea.@sanjaymanjrekar”
