'Enough of your verbal diarrhea': Ravindra Jadeja blasts Sanjay Manjrekar over 'bits and pieces' player comment
Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar had said that he was not too keen to see a "bits and pieces" player like Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI.
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).
In 151 ODIs, Jadeja has scored 2035 runs and taken 174 wickets, while Manjrekar played 74 matches scoring 1994 runs. 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.
