IPL2021:Manjrekar is still not happy with Jadeja’s performance
Sanjay Manjrekar and Ravindra Jadeja twitter fight during WC 2019 no one can forget, where Manjrekar said Jadeja that he performed in bits and pieces, now again Manjrekar not happy with his performance in IPL.
Jadeja has been an improved batsman over the last 15 years, but former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar is still not convinced as far as the all-rounder’s ability with bat goes. Speaking on an ESPNCricinfo show, Manjrekar said that he was not convinced with Jadeja’s batting, more so in the role, CSK has given him. He added that all his exploits have come against medium pacers that include Harshal Patel and Prasidh Krishna, but his approach against high-quality pacers is not yet known.
“He has pounced on bowlers like Prasidh Krishna and Harshal Patel. It remains to be seen whether he will be attacking against the quick pacers who try to attack him,” Manjrekar said.
The timing of these comments is quite interesting as they came after Jadeja’s exploits with the bat took CSK across the line in a thrilling 172-run-chase against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), on Sunday (September 26). He smashed 22 runs in 8 balls and his innings had two fours and a couple of sixes.
