"Not Good For Indian Cricket": BCCI Slammed For Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's "Special Treatment"

Team India did win the first Test against Bangladesh by Chepauk comfortably, securing a 280-run triumph, but the result doesn't hide away issues that still remain. Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and Ravindra Jadeja were among the top performers in the series opener but the performance of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma left much to desire. Neither Virat nor Rohit succeeded in registering a big score in the two innings, prompting suggestions that they shouldn't have missed the Duleep Trophy.

"Can't Apply A Cricket Reason": Sanjay Manjrekar Comments On Shubman Gill's Strange 'Weakness'

Shubman Gill poses a very odd statistic. From 2020 onwards, Gill's average is the highest among any Indian Test batter when you take scores from only the second innings. However, his career Test average is merely 35, meaning that he tends to underperform in the first innings. It proved to be the same again in the first Test between India and Bangladesh, as Gill recovered from a duck in the first innings to a fine 119 in the second. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his bewilderment at this repeated occurrence.

"Misleading Package": Sanjay Manjrekar's Intriguing Take On Rishabh Pant's Ton

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar lauded wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for his century, pointing out that the left-hander has got a fine defensive technique like legendary former skipper MS Dhoni. Centuries from Gill and Rishabh Pant helped India set a massive 515-run target in the first Test at Chennai. The two future batting stars for India took Bangladeshi bowling apart with some ruthless hitting, continuing their fine form in the long format.

"Virat Kohli Obviously Didn't Think...": Ex India Star's Blunt Take On DRS Blunder

Former India cricketer and reputed commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has pointed out what he feels is a peculiar similarity between India batting greats Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli did not enjoy a good return to Test cricket, scoring 6 and 17 in his two innings against Bangladesh in the first Test. Playing his first Test since January, Kohli failed to fire, choosing to not review an LBW decision that was later shown to be not out. Manjrekar drew an odd comparison between Kohli and Tendulkar.

"Wanting To Keep 3 Reviews...": Ex-India Star's Big Take On Virat Kohli's DRS Blunder vs Bangladesh

Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his sympathy for Virat Kohli after his DRS blunder during Day 2 of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday. Kohli was given out LBW by the on-field umpire and the star India batter decided to not opt for the DRS review. However, replays showed that the ball did hit his bat's inside edge and a DRS review would have resulted in the umpire overturning his decision. Manjrekar took to social media to talk about the incident and said that Kohli most likely chose to keep all the reviews intact for his side.

"Rohit Sharma Played 59% Matches, Virat Kohli...": Sanjay Manjrekar Dig As Stars Miss Duleep Trophy

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar suggested that Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah should have been selected for the first round of the Duleep Trophy, citing the trio being “well rested” players. The Duleep Trophy will see a lot of Test team regulars featuring in the first round of India's domestic season opener at Bengaluru and Anantapur on September 5. The tournament's format has been changed too - the zonal format has made way for four teams – India A, India B, India C and India D – chosen by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee.

"Not Who The Coach Is": Sanjay Manjrekar's Post Blasted By Internet As Anti-Gautam Gambhir

The Gautam Gambhir-era in Indian cricket started on Saturday with the side taking on Sri Lanka in the first of a three-T20I series. From the time, Gambhir took over as the Indian cricket team coach, anticipation has been building over his tenure. As the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders, Gambhir guided the team to the IPL 2023 title. Earlier, he guided Lucknow Super Giants to two straight IPL playoffs.

As Gautam Gambhir Begins India Coach Job, Sanjay Manjrekar's Blunt Reminder Of His Role

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar triggered a debate on social media with his strange remarks about the coaches of the Indian team. Just as Gautam Gambhir prepares to begin his stint as the head coach of the Indian men's national team, Manjrekar suggested that there's no 'direct correlation' between coaches and the team winning the World Cup. Manjrekar, instead, suggested that it's all about Indian cricket and the way it is functioning that suggests how successful a team is or isn't.
