Interestingly the hashtag “bits and pieces” topped the Chennai trends while the hashtag “SirJadeja” grabbed the top spot in the India trends.

The phrase “bits and pieces” became the talk of the cricket enthusiasts after the infamous Sanjay Manjerakkar referred him as “bits and pieces cricketer” during the course of one of his commentary sessions.

Later, Michael Vaughan, the former English cricketer appreciated Jadeja including a sarcastic angle to Manjerakar’s comment by saying“Bloody hell Bits & Piece can Spin it” when Jadeja took the wicket of New Zealand opener Henry Nicholas.
