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.
Earlier this month, Hong Kong lost a match against Jersey, an island whose entire population would fit inside the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with room to spare.
Cricketers, that too from the Indian team, often have to go through intense scrutiny on social media. Their success is celebrated wildly while their failures are criticised quite strongly.

Hardik Pandya had a redemption of sorts in India's Asia Cup 2022 match against Pakistan on Sunday. His all-round performance earned him the 'Player of the match' award and it was memorable performance for Hardik in more ways than one. "I was remembering it all. I was stretchered off at the same venue against the same opponent in the 2018 Asia Cup," Hardik said after the match. Later, he posted an image of him being stretchered off the field during the 2018 Asia Cup match with the caption: "The comeback is greater than the setback."
KL Rahul couldn't have wished for an easier opposition to get his rhythm back as a buoyant India get ready to steamroll minnows Hong Kong in their second and final group league game of the Asia Cup on Wednesday. The Group A match won't be more than a glorified net session for Rohit Sharma's men against a team, mostly comprising Pakistani and Indian expats, who otherwise are not good enough to play first-class cricket in either of the two nations.
As India stepped out to the field against Pakistan in the Group A clash, the entire focus was on Virat Kohli. The right-handed batter was returning to international cricket after being rested for the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe. In the match against Pakistan, Kohli ended up scoring 35 runs off 34 balls with the help of 3 fours and 1 six. Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said that Kohli should have a played a longer innings but he was not looking confident even after scoring 30 odd runs.
