Birmingham: India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja Wednesday hit out at former player turned commentator, Sanjay Manjrekar, saying, “I have 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 K L 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.
###
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.
###
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.
