‘Khamosh’: Fans vent their ire as Sanjay Manjrekar lauds Jadeja with ‘wink’ emoji

Indian cricket fans have given a hard time to former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar even since he called Ravindra Jadeja a “bits and pieces player”. Besides lashing out at Manjrekar over his “verbal diarrhoea”, Jadeja’s performances in the two matches he played turned the tables against the former player.

In the semi-finals against New Zealand, it was Jadeja who shined once again, scoring 77 runs off 58 balls, taking India closer to the target. Although India lost, people hailed the all-rounder and even Manjrekar lauded him. “Well played Jadeja!” the former Test player tweeted with a wink emoji.

The tweet quickly garnered a lot of attention online and got fans talking, with people taking offence to the emoji used by him.

We would have accepted it as a sportsman spirit but the way u used a winking emoji 😉, you lost people’s respect. As if u r happy that couldn’t take the team to the finals. Disgusting. You were never a great player and doesn’t seems to be a good human being too #CWC2019
