Sanjay Manjrekar severely trolled for tweet on occasion of Bhai Dooj
On the occasion of Bhai Dooj, a festival celebrated in India to acknowledge the brother-sister relationship, Manjrekar took to Twitter to write a little insight on what happened at his home.
Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar became a victim of trolls on Tuesday after his comment on parenting received severe backlash.
On the occasion of Bhai Dooj, a festival celebrated in India to acknowledge the brother-sister relationship, Manjrekar took to Twitter to write a little insight on what happened at his home.
My son on speaker phone to his sister. “I got a revelation the other day about how dad was wrong.🤨#BeingAParent
The tweet was immediately trolled with netizens taking potshots over his tweet. “He might have heard you on the Comm Box,” a person replied to the commentator.
Hope he hasn’t started listening to your commentary.😛
One user even went up to the extent of bringing his controversial tweet on Ravindra Jadeja during the ICC World Cup 2019. Manjrekar had said that he was not a big fan of “bits and pieces” players like Jadeja. “He must speak to @imjadeja on this topic,” the user replied to Manjrekar.
During the 2019 World Cup in the UK, Manjrekar was quoted as saying by IANS: “I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point of 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.”
While fans slammed Manjrekar for his “bits and pieces” remark, Jadeja too didn’t take much time to hit back. “Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I’m still playing. Learn to respect people who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea.@sanjaymanjrekar,” Jadeja had tweeted.
