‘Enough verbal diarrhoea’

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took to Twitter to express his anger over the criticism he received from former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar.

Ahead of India’s league fixture against Bangladesh, India batting coach Sanjay Bangar had hinted that the team might field Jadeja against Bangladesh. However, Manjrekar said that he was not a big fan of ‘bits and pieces players’ like Jadeja.

“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,” Manjrekar said on Monday.

Jadeja did not take the criticism well and fired a scathing response on Twitter.

“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 wrote.

Ravindra Jadeja has not featured in the playing XI so far in the ongoing World Cup 2019 for India.
