Sanjay Manjrekar's Argument With Harsha Bhogle On TV Angers Fans; Demand Apology!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsIt was a great match on November 24 where India defeated Bangladesh by an innings in the second Test in Kolkata. When team India was rejoicing on the field, former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar was being trolled on Twitter.
It all started after, Manjrekar had an argument with fellow commentator Harsha Bhogle over the visibility of the pink ball. During the conversation, Bhogle had asked for a proper analysis of the pink-ball Test and suggested that players should be asked about any problems in sighting the ball, to which Manjrekar was quick to respond saying that "only you need to ask Harsha, not us, who have played a fair bit of the game."
This statement by Manjrekar did not go down well with fans. They lashed out at him while many demanded an apology.
Meanwhile during the match, Bangladesh batsmen were hit by India's fast bowlers, two players were substituted after being hit on the head.

Sanjay Manjrekar disagrees to Harsha Bhogle about visiblity of pink balls when later says "proper post-mortem needs to be done, and players should be asked".
And then Sanjay adds " ONLY YOU NEED TO ASK HARSHA, NOT US, WHO HAVE PLAYED FAIR BIT OF GAME"#INDvBAN #INDvsBAN

It is this incredible smugness that makes #SanjayManjrekar the worst possible broadcaster in the history of the game. Unreal arrogance combined with a total ignorance about his own pathetic quality as a commentator.
A public apology to #Harshabhogle is the least he can do. https://t.co/m5hAnceFAa
