Former cricketer turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar is known for his controversial statements be it on-air or on social media platforms. One cannot forget his “Bits n Pieces” remark on all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja which made even Jadeja angry, and he responded to him directly on Twitter.
Sti𓆉ll 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.

And now again he said something which exasperated cricket fa😼ns and they reprimanded Manjrekar on twitter.
During the Pink Ball Test between I🍃ndia and Bangladesh, Manjrekar got into a verbal spat with fellow commentator Bhogle.
Harsha passed a suggestion that when it comes to visibility of pink ball,𝕴 players need to go for a proper post-mortem.
But that vexed Manjrekar, and he went personal at Harsha and said, “Only you need to ask this question Harsha, not us, who have played this game.”
This irritated fans, and they came out 💦in su༺pport of Bhogle.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:
This is boorish and abs🅠olutely unnecessary from . Pity. What does it cost to be civil to a fellow commentator who was asking a very valid question? "You need to ask." Really.

Low blow from there. When Harsha suggested that batsmen should be asked about the visibility of the pink ball, "You need to ask Harsha. I think for players who have played the game…"
And he's again bragging about 10-15 years of FC cricket.
HB sounds agitated.— TheRandomCricketPhotosGuy (@RandomC𓆏ricꦦketP1)
This is unnecessar⛄ily condescending and disappointing coming from someone such as who I have respect and affection for. Of course playing the game at the highest level is great. But, as says, no harm at all in asking those involved in THIS game.
