Well, the conversation between Jadeja and Manjrekar took the fans by surprise because of their bitter history. It first came into the limelight during the 2019 edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup when the veteran India batter had called the all-rounder ‘bits and pieces’ cricketer. He had said: “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.”
Irked by his statement, Ravindra Jadeja too had replied back on Twitter and later through his celebration after scoring a fifty in the World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand. He Tweeted: “Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I am still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhea,”
