How to send out #SanjayManjrekar out of this World Cup 

Should we need to call Bumrah ?

The most irritating commentator we’ve seen in Cricket.

I was watching the match with Hindi commentary, Akash Chopra was so irritating that I wanted to slap him. Changed to English commentary and here Sanjay Manjrekar is so irritating that Akash Chopra looks like an angel

Some people want Bhuvi to play

Some people want Shami to play

But deep down we all want Star Sports to fire Sanjay Manjrekar.#IndvWI

Dear @Hotstar, I have been switching between English and Hindi commentary streams to escape #SanjayManjrekar but have been unable to shake him off. Will I be safe with Bengali stream?

Sanjay Manjrekar had questioned MS Dhoni's batting in the previous two matches. This did not go down well with many Dhoni fans. Manjrekar was accused of anti-Dhoni bias. Some even questioned the credibility of Manjrekar for criticising a talent like MS Dhoni. 

Sanjay manjrekar seems more happy seeing dhoni out than the players #BANvIND #WC19

Number of half centuries of MSD are more than matches played by Sanjay Manjrekar

And this Bullshit is questioning about Dhoni's performance

A cricket fan had recently written a letter to the ICC complaining about Sanjay Manjrekar’s commentary in the ongoing Cricket World Cup in England and Wales.

“Hey ICC! Greetings from Sydney, Australia. A bit of feedback about Sanjay Manjrekar, on your commentary panel, for CWC: I find him utterly biased and very unprofessional, behind the mic. He also sounds full of himself. Other than that, great World Cup. Thanks,” read the letter which was addressed to ICC’s head office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

I am unahappy with Sanjay Manjerekar's commentary. I wrote to ICC about it. #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KzgqtLHuzU

Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has hit back at former cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar for calling him a ‘bits and pieces’ player.  Jadeja said that he had heard enough of Manjrekar's verbal diarrhea.

Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he was not a fan of ‘bits and pieces’ players like Ravindra Jadeja. His comments came after it was suggested that Jadeja could be brought into the side for the Bangladesh match.

Jadeja hit back at Manjrekar on Wednesday and took to Twitter to express his anger. He pointed out that he has played double number of matches than Majrekar and asked him to respect people who have achieved (something). 

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
