Sanjay Manjrekar was a brilliantly talented batsman who served India well in 37 Tests and 74 ODIs in a career spanning from 1987 to 1996. However, his career ended up being a case of unfulfilled potential, as he was touted as the next Sunil Gavaskar at the time of his debut.

Manjrekar retired early in 1996 and pursued a career in commentary and media and is one of the most sought-after cricket experts with a strong social media presence. However, sometimes he tends to opine about issues without proper background knowledge and this time, he was taken to task by a fellow India player.

Sanjay Manjrekar tweeted about a Vijay Hazare Trophy match between Bengal and Jharkhand, which was decided by VJD method. Jharkhand won the match by 2 runs via VJD method, after scoring 264/9 in 49 overs as compared to Bengal's 267/8 in 50 overs.

Manjrekar went onto criticize the bowlers for their slow over rates and bowling 50 overs in over 4 hours.

Vijay Hazare match between Bengal & Jharkhand could not be completed. Had to be decided by VJD method. Why? Fading light. Why? Slow over rates! Bowling team took 4 hours 18 minutes to bowl their 50 overs! — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 3, 2018

This didn’t go well with Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary, who responded to Manjrekar in apt and here are his replies.
