Delhi: Sanjay Manjrekar, who is a former cricketer of the Indian team, has now become a big name in the commentary world. But, during the commentary, his habit of talking directly has become a reason for controversies many times. One such controversy took place in the 2019 World Cup, when he called Ravindra Jadeja a “Bits and Pesses” player.

What was the dispute?

This means that he told that Jadeja is such a player who can do both batting and bowling but is not completely expert in any one. Manjrekar had said that he would like to take a specialist batsman and a specialist spinner in the team instead of such players in ODI cricket.

Jadeja had expressed displeasure by responding to this comment on social media. He wrote that he has played more international matches than Manjrekar and such people should learn to respect others.

Sanjay Manjrekar’s statement

Now, in an interview recently, Sanjay Manjrekar spoke again on this old matter. He believes that the statement of “Bits and Pesses” was incorrectly taken. He said, “I think Ravindra Jadeja had a misunderstanding. Because he has misunderstood the word. However, I do not know what was the response? And as I said, I keep it simple like this. Yes, earlier, the truth, I was impressed and tried to make things better and just tried to improve things, but it is not a way to stop it.
