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 matches you have played and i m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved.i have heard en🐻ough of your verbal diarrhoea.

And now♛ again he said something ♌which exasperated cricket fans and they reprimanded Manjrekar on twitter.
During the Pink Ball Test between India and Bangladesh൩, Manjrekar got into a verbal spat with fellow commentator Bhogle.
Harsha passed a suggestion that when it comes to visibility of pink ball, ꧒players 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.”
T♑his irritated fans, and they came out 𒊎in support of Bhogle.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:
This is boorish and absolutely unnecessary from . Pity. What does it cost to be civil to a fellow commentator who was asking a very valid question? &qu🐠ot;You ne♈ed 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.— TheRandomCricketPho🤡tosG🍸uy (@RandomCricketP1)
This is unnecessarily condescending and disappointing coming from someone such as who I have൲ 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.
