Enough of Your Verbal Diarrhoea: Jadeja Slams Sanjay Manjrekar

Ravindra Jadeja lashed out at Sanjay Manjrekar, saying he’d ‘heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea”.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja lashed out at former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar on Wednesday, 3 July, saying he’d ‘heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea”.

Since India's loss to England in the World Cup, Manjrekar has been vocal in his criticism of a few players, including the seasoned Mahendra Singh Dhoni and opener KL Rahul. The Mumbaikar also recently referred to Jadeja as a 'bits and pieces player'.

The comment did not go down well with Jadeja, who took to Twitter to express his anger.

"Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I am still playing. Learn to respect people who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea," Jadeja wrote.

Manjrekar, who is part of the line up of commentators at the men’s Cricket World Cup, has also been receiving major backlash from cricket fans on Twitter.

Later on Wednesday, Manjrekar tweeted about England’s win at the World Cup, and chose not to acknowledge what Jadeja had tweeted about him earlier in the day.

England coming into their own with the sun starting to shine here! Another commanding win in another crunch game.👏👏👏#CWC2019

Have always felt this WC will be a test, not of England’s batting or bowling ability but their temperament. Last two pressure games they have come through with flying colours. 👍

Jadeja has not featured in a single match for India in the ongoing World Cup but he has come on as substitute fielder on multiple occasions. He even took a brilliant catch to dismiss England's Jason Roy to leave his mark on the game.

Manjrekar had called Dhoni's approach in the match against England "baffling" and also questioned Rahul's performance as an opener.

Regarding Dhoni, Manjrekar had tweeted after the England game, "Here's something interesting about Dhoni. 41 off 87 balls v spin this WC. But in the warm up games 69 off 56 balls v spin. That tells me it's mental too. He does not put his wicket on the line as much in the big games."

The former batsman also had his take after India's win against Bangladesh on Tuesday.

"Even after today's win a few issues that need to be addressed for India to become a fool proof team. Rahul still not convincing as opener, Shami as death bowler is a concern now & the Dhoni conundrum," Manjrekar said.
