Sanjay Manjrekar Finally Responds After He Was Trolled By R Ashwin On Twitter

Cricketer turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has been making a lot of news lately, however, for all the wrong reasons. The cricketer has once again managed to stir a debate on social media after his opinion on India’s off-spinner R Ashwin.

Recently, in an interview, Manjrekar said that he has a problem with those who consider India’s Test specialist Ravichandran Ashwin as an all-time great player in Test format. He had said:

“When people start talking about him as being one of the all-time greats of the game then I have a few problems. One basic problem I have with Ashwin is that when you look at SENA countries, Ashwin doesn’t have a single five-wicket haul there,”

He had added:

“And the other thing when you talk about him running through sides on Indian pitches that are suited to his kind of bowling is that in the last four years, Jadeja has matched him with wicket-taking abilities. Then, interestingly, in the last series against England, Axar Patel got more wickets than Ashwin on similar pitches. So that is my problem with accepting Ashwin as a real all-time great,”

Well, the statements were welcomed with mixed reactions from the fans. There were many who didn’t agree with Sanjay Manjrekar and started slamming his left, right, and center. R Ashwin also took notice of the statements and came up with a hilarious reaction to his tweet.

In his reply, Ashwin shared a picture from a Tamil movie Anniyan, in which the lead character (actor Vikram) tells his friend:

“apdi solladha da chaari, manasellam valikirdhu” (which roughly translates to: don’t say that, my heart is paining).

Here, check out his reaction:

Now, Sanjay Manjrekar has finally reacted to Ashwin’s reply to him. In his reply, Manjrekar wrote how his ‘straightforward and simple cricket assessments are making fuss’. He wrote:

“Also Chaari, my heart aches to see simple, straightforward, cricketing assessments kick up a fuss these days.”
