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.
Still i have played twice the number of match🎐es 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 agꦦain he said something which exasperated cricket fans and they reprimanded Manjrꦰekar on twitter.
During the Pink Ball Test between India and Bangladesh, Manjrekar got into a verbal sp𒅌at with fellow commentator Bhogle.
Harsha passed a suggestion that when itဣ comes to visibility of pink ball, p🅺layers 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 support of Bh💧ogle.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:
This is boorish and absolutely unnecessary from . Pity. What does it cost t💫o 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.— TheRaꦛndomCricketPhotosGuy (@R🎃andomCricketP1)
This is unnecessarily condescending and disappointing coming from somඣeone 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.
