To the bowler’s dismay, Jadeja was given not out because camera angles were unable to hold her responsible for over the line.
On June 1, India and Bangladesh faced off in an ICC T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match at Nassau County Stadium in New York. After winning the toss, Team India chose to bat first. According to their plans, some batters in India exploded, while others merely chipped away.
When Ravindra Jadeja joined Hardik Pandya at the crease in the 17th over, the Men in Blue were once 159/4. However, Jadeja’s first encounter with a ball turned out to be disastrous. With a fuller delivery from Tanvir Islam, Jadeja attempted a slog but failed.
The batsman was caught short of the ground, and the wicketkeeper scooped up the ball and moved the stumps. The bowler was given not out because, much to his dismay, camera angles were unable to hold him responsible for crossing the line. On air, Sanjay Manjrekar made a joke about how it looked out and how he might have to stop talking because Jadeja was involved.
“I should stop up, Manjrekar. It looks out from here, but Jadeja is batting.
Jadeja and Manjrekar have a mediocre connection.
The relationship between Ravindra Jadeja and Sanjay Manjrekar is noteworthy; the former cricket player and current broadcaster got backlash for calling the all-round player a “bits and pieces” player. The comment was made in relation to the conversation about Jadeja’s position on the ODI team. Manjrekar called the southpaw a “pure bowler” in Tests rather than ODIs because of his poor performance in the 50-over event.
At this stage of his 50-over cricket career, Jadeja is one of those players that I don’t really like. He is a bowler pure and true in Test matches. However, I would want to have a batsman and a spinner in 50-over cricket,” Manjrekar had stated at the 2019 ODI World Cup.
Swiftly responding, Jadeja posted on Twitter (now X) with the following message: “Even after playing twice as many matches as you have, I’m still playing. Acknowledge and honor those who have succeeded. You can stop your verbal diarrhea now.
