Sanjay Manjrekar & Ravindra Jadeja don’t have that good relationship. Earlier in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Manjrekar had said that Jadeja is a bits & pieces player which raised a lot of eyebrows. Jadeja was quite fumed up and decided to give a befitting reply with the bat in hand. He almost took India to the finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 where India missed out by a whisker. Later Manjrekar said: “By bits ‘n’ pieces of sheer brilliance, he’s ripped me apart on all fronts,”
This incident questioned a lot about Manjrekar’s credibility as a commentator & expert. Manjrekar has always been making headlines by issuing odd statements. He is someone who doesn’t fear anyone and sometimes it bites him. Rohit Sharma in a press conference had also said that experts don’t know the internal facets of the game.
Ravindra Jadeja on Fire
Ravindra Jadeja got an unexpected promotion to the No.4 position when Virat Kohli was out. The left-handed batter came ahead of Suryakumar Yadav to bat. He made his intentions clear and made sure that bowlers gets settled in.
For Pakistan team members, this promotion came out from nowhere which created a lot of disturbance. The left-hand right-hand batting combination did wonders for Team India as runs kept coming at a good run rate.

Ravindra Jadeja Makes the Most of an Opportunity
Ravindra Jadeja knew that his wicket will open the gates of victory for Men in Green. He was quite quick in between the wickets which allowed Hardik Pandya to get his eye in and play without any pressure. The duo made sure that the required run rate is not touching 11 runs per over and was quite keen on getting an odd boundary.
The game was getting tighter than expected which meant that one of them had to switch gears quickly. Hardik took that responsibility and whacked 3 boundaries to Haris Rauf in the 19th over.
That over meant that India required 7 runs and is on the brink of completing their revenge. Jadeja got out on 35 runs as he struck 2 fours & 2 sixes in 29 balls. India later however succumbed but finally won the match by 5 wickets and with 2 legal deliveries remaining.
