"You Are Okay To Talk To Me Right?": Sanjay Manjrekar To Ravindra Jadeja After India-Pakistan Game

It was Team India that came out on top against arch-rival Pakistan on Sunday in the Asia Cup Group A clash. Hardik Pandya played an unbeaten 33-run knock off just 17 balls to help India win the contest by five wickets. But one cannot forget the contribution of Ravindra Jadeja as he also played a knock of 35 runs off 29 balls with the help of 2 fours and 2 sixes. Jadeja and Hardik had formed a partnership of 52 runs for the fifth wicket. After the match, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar was doing post-match duties, and he had to interview Jadeja.

But the first thing he ended up asking Jadeja was whether the left-handed batter was okay to talk to him. It is important to note that Manjrekar had called Jadeja a "bits and pieces" cricketer during the 2019 World Cup, and then Jadeja had slammed the former India batter on social media, saying: "Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea. @sanjaymanjrekar."

Talking about the game between India and Pakistan, Manjrekar started off his interview with Jadeja by saying: "I have got Ravindra Jadeja here with me, first question, you are okay to talk to me Jaddu right?"

To this, Jadeja replied: "Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I do not have any problem." This response left both Jadeja and Manjrekar in splits.

Further talking about the game, Jadeja said: "We wanted to play till the end, they have a very good bowling attack, their fast bowlers don't give anything away. I could have finished the game but Hardik played superbly. He (Pandya) came out, he was very clear in his head and said he was going to play his shots, and I am happy that he stayed till the end."
