Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar is once again facing the heat on Twitter after a user on the social media platform leaked his personal conversation with the cricketer-turned commentator. In the chats, Manjrekar can be seen taking a dig at star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja stating that he doesn’t understand English.
-
Jadeja and Manjrekar were involved in a heated altercation on Twitter during the 2019 World Cup. After India’s loss against England by 31 runs, the talks of Jadeja’s inclusion in the playing XI in the next game against Bangladesh had not gone down well with the commentator. Manjrekar called Jadeja a “bits and pieces” cricketer while explaining why he didn’t deserve a spot in the XI.
-
Jadeja was not pleased by Manjrekar’s remark and hit back at him on Twitter, comparing his statement to “verbal diarrhoea”.
-
“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 had said.
-
“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 tweeted as he hit back at the cricketer-turned commentator.

Now a Twitter user had leaked his chat with Manjrekar, where the former India cricketer has claimed Jadeja doesn’t understand English and that someone would have spelled verbal diarrhoea for him. In the chats, Manjrekar can be seen having an argument with the fan over his analysis of the game.
-
“Sad state you are in. Expecting me to worship players like you do… by the way I am not a fan. I am an analyst. And Jadeja doesn’t know English so he did not know the actual meaning of bits and pieces. And surely somebody spelt verbal diarrhoea for him.” one of his messages read.

“I didn’t want to share this personal chat in public, even though it’s full to shit. But couldn’t help, coz ppl need to know this side of this man. @imjadeja would be proud of what he did to prove you wrong. @BCCI is this the kind of man you would want in your com panel in future?” – the Twitter user captioned his post.
