Ever since Sanjay Manjrekar's "bits and pieces cricketer" comment on Ravindra Jadeja, the former India batter often finds himself at the end of a few jokes whenever the star all-rounder performs well.

To Manjrekar's credit, he himself takes it on the chin and even asked Jadeja after India's win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup on Sunday if he was "okay" to talk to him.

Jadeja too laughed in response and said he had no problem, with both of them seemingly having put the episode behind them. However, Manjrekar's fellow presenter Mayanti Langer was perhaps not done with the jokes just yet.

Before the start of Afghanistan's match against Bangladesh on Tuesday, Manjrekar, Langer and Scott Styris were discussing the India-Pakistan match and the topic of slow over rate came up.
