Sanjay Manjrekar raised questions on Gautam Gambhir immediately after his press conference. Manjrekar tweeted and wrote, ‘Saw the press conference of Gautam Gambhir. It would be a wise decision for BCCI to keep Gautam Gambhir away from such duties. Let them work behind the scenes only, he (Gambhir) neither has the right words nor the right manners to talk to them. Rohit and Agarkar are right to talk to the media. Just watched Gambhir in the press conference. May be wise for @BCCI to keep him away from such duties, let him work behind the scenes. He does not have the right demeanor nor the words when interacting with them. Rohit & Agarkar, much better guys to front up for the media. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) November 11, 2024 The way Sanjay Manjrekar has openly raised questions on Gautam Gambhir, there will definitely be controversy on social media.

This is the legacy that Rohit Sharma will leave behind as captain – Sanjay Manjrekar Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The last match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played from September 27 at Green Park, Kanpur.

Sanjay Manjrekar said something special about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy Cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, This is the legacy that Rohit Sharma will leave behind as captain. He thinks so. A strong team, one of the top-2 teams in the world, showed a champion approach, realizing that a lot of time had been wasted. And he leads by example, just like he did in the 50-over World Cup. So, this is what Rohit Sharma will leave as his contribution to Indian cricket. He was happy to put his wicket at stake- Manjrekar Indian captain Rohit Sharma put the team above himself, he was ready to put his wicket at stake to score quick runs. Sanjay Manjrekar is very happy with Rohit Sharma’s approach. You just do something for the team and play to win. He does not face any problem in this process, like in the 50 over World Cup… he did not score a big century. Even here, he was happy to put his wicket on the line and suddenly we have a Test match that India can win. You have to appreciate Rohit Sharma for this.
“Nobody is bigger than the game and the team”- Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Gautam Gambhir went viral like fire
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India. Sanjay Manjrekar and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir will start his tenure with Team India as head coach from today (July 27). With the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the next head coach of Team India and under him, Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour of Sri Lanka, Team India will play three-match ODI and Test series. Before the start of this series, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a surprising tweet about Gautam Gambhir. In fact, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, there has been such statements in the media that Team India has not got a bigger coach than Gambhir till date. However, Manjrekar does not seem to agree with this. He says that no coach or player can be bigger than the team. This tweet of Sanjay Manjrekar rapidly went viral on social media Sanjay Manjrekar posted a tweet, “No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten and Rahul Dravid. Coaches were there when India won the World Cup in 1983, 2007, 2011 and 2024. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. It’s time we stop thinking there is a direct connection between the two.” No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024 When the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983 by defeating the two-time defending champion West Indies, the team did not have a head coach at that time. Whereas, when Team India became the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Lalchand Rajput was the director of the team, because Greg Chappell was removed 6 months ago after the poor performance in the ODI World Cup. However, during the 2011 ODI World Cup, the head coach of the winning team was Gary Kirsten. This was the first time that Team India won the World Cup and a head coach was present with the team. After this, now it has happened in 2024 that the head coach was with the team and the team became the world champion. This is the reason why Gautam Gambhir has a big responsibility on his shoulders, because in the coming time India has to win many ICC tournaments.
Kohli’s form doesn’t matter, because… for the first time, Sanjay Manjrekar’s words will seem absolutely correct
Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he is not worried about Virat Kohli’s current form. Virat Kohli Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa will be played on Saturday 29 June at Kensington Oval in Barbados. Virat fans are worried whether their star batsman will show form in the final match or not. It is worth noting that Virat Kohli is going through a very bad form in this T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli’s bat, which spewed fire in IPL 2024, is not able to work its magic in this mega tournament. If we look at Virat Kohli’s contribution in this year’s World Cup, he has scored only 75 runs for the team in seven matches. In the semi-final of the T20 World Cup i.e. India vs England, Kohli could score only 9 runs. In that match, Kohli was having difficulty in touching the ball with his bat. Fans and Team India would like him to do something amazing in the final match. But there is a possibility that Kohli’s bat will fail once again in the final match of the World Cup. Team India is not worried about Virat Kohli’s form Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he has no concerns about Virat Kohli’s current form. Let’s read his full statement – “I am not worried about Virat Kohli’s form, because the form of the entire team is more important. Of course India will win the T20 World Cup 2024. India has played T20 cricket in a modern way and the result is that they are in the final.” Sanjay Manjrekar believes that this time captain Rohit Sharma has led Team India with a very fearless approach. In such a situation, he feels that this new strategy will get India their World Cup trophy after a long time. Which 3 South African players will be a threat to India? Sanjay Manjrekar has named South African fast bowlers Anrique Norkhia, Kagiso Rabada, and Quinton de Kock as the biggest threat to India.
“Stop singing his praises…” Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah goes viral
Sanjay Manjrekar has made such a statement while taking a dig at Kohli, which can anger Virat fans a bit. Virat Kohli Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The 19th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played between the arch-rivals on Sunday. After losing the toss and batting first, the Indian team scored 119 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in 19 overs. In response, Pakistan could only score 113 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Rohit Sharma’s team won this match by six runs due to Jasprit Bumrah’s deadly bowling. The fast bowler took a total of three wickets in this match. He gave only 14 runs in his four-over spell at an economy rate of 3.50 and turned the match in India’s favor. He was chosen as the Man of the Match for this brilliant performance. At the same time, the team’s star batsman Virat Kohli has faded in this T20 World Cup after his red hot form in the IPL. Virat Kohli’s performance so far in T20 World Cup 2024 Virat Kohli faced 3 balls against Pakistan in which he scored just 4 runs. At the same time, Kohli was able to score just 1 run in 5 balls against Ireland. Kohli won the lost match for India by scoring a brilliant half-century against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022. In such a situation, everyone had high hopes from Virat Kohli but he failed. Now Sanjay Manjrekar has made such a statement while taking a dig at Kohli, which can anger Virat fans a bit. Sanjay Manjrekar wrote this for Virat Kohli The Indian media is obsessed with Virat Kohli and company. It kept praising the batsmen but Jasprit Bumrah won the match single-handedly without any fanfare. Bumrah is the best player in the Indian team right now. While Indian media obsesses over Virat & Co, Jasprit Bumrah quietly wins games for India single-handedly. By far the best player in the Indian team and has been for a while now.🙇🙇🙇#JaspritBumrah#ICCT20WC — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) June 10, 2024 In this post, Sanjay has not taken a dig at Virat Kohli but at the Indian media team, but he has also indirectly taunted Virat Kohli. At the same time, he has praised Jaspreet Bumrah a lot.

Against Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans lost 5 wickets at the score of 139. But the pair of Rahul Tewatia and David Miller were at the crease, and these two players could prove fatal for Delhi.

Shubman Gill was a flop in the two-match Test series against South Africa.

I think a crowd is gathering around him, which is making his life a little difficult. In the 50-over format, I think he is ready at the moment.” In Test cricket, you need an inevitability, unless you are batting at No. 6 or No. 7, but still, you need it, especially with the kind of pitches that India have had recently. I have made it on my home ground. , where you need a good defense. The former batsman further said, “If you can’t defend and if you want to attack to get out of trouble, it works in 50-over cricket and T20 cricket, but in Test cricket, You need very good defence, and that is what Shubman has said.

Sanjay Manjrekar’s big reaction regarding Prasidh Krishna, said- throwing him out after just one match…
Manjrekar believes that the team management will give Prasidh another chance. Sanjay Manjrekar and Prasidh Krishna (Image Source: Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna made his debut in the first test against South Africa, but he could not do anything special in his debut test. In the bowling spell of 20 overs, Prasidh spent 93 runs and took only 1 wicket. Despite his poor performance, former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar believes that it would not be right to drop Prasidh after just one match. Sanjay Manjrekar said on Cricinfo that it would be a bit difficult to drop Prasidh Krishna after just one match. If you watch him, he’s not someone who hits the ball hard. He uses his height. Everything he pitches is a little floaty. The only balls that have some speed and power are the short balls. Management will give him another chance- Sanjay Manjrekar He believes that the team management led by Rahul Dravid will give Prasidh another chance. However, he also said that if Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli were still at the helm of the Test team, they would have taken the tough decision of dropping the bowler. He continued by saying that if Mukesh Kumar plays, I don’t think anyone will be unhappy with it. They will see how Mukesh is bowling in the nets and then decide if it is a good fit for Prasidh Krishna. Because this is something that the team management cares about. He said that he can give another chance. But this is a two-match series, so we may be willing to make changes. read this also- ‘One cannot depend on one bowler’, Rohit Sharma angry at the bowlers after the defeat in Centurion
