Sanjay Manjrekar’s indirect dig at Ravindra Jadeja?
Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on Star Sports seemed to take an indirect dig at the Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. However, Manjrekar compared Jadeja and Hardik Pandya to former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Manjrekar said that Yuvraj was a pretty good batter and also one of the best in white ball cricket. The cricketer-turned-commentator believed that Hardik and Jadeja are better bowlers than Yuvraj. Sanjay Manjrekar said:
One aspect of Yuvraj Singh was at a different level, he was such a good batter, arguably one of the best in white ball cricket. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja’s batting credentials don’t stack up that much as compared to Yuvraj Singh. Jadeja and Hardik are better bowlers as compared to Yuvraj Singh, but as far as Singh is concerned, he used to be at a different level all together.
