Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has been in the eye of the storm today for criticising MS Dhoni and his slow innings during India vs Bangladesh, CWC 2019. The fans were left fuming with the fact that the cricketer-turned-commentator was biased with his commentary. So much that he even muted their television sets while the former Indian cricketer handled the mic. In fact, the netizens even started a petition to remove him from the commentary panel. Sanjay tweeted on MS Dhoni’s batting and he said that the former Indian captain was not very adventurous in pressure situations. India vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score 40th ODI Match.

“Here’s something interesting about Dhoni -. 41 off 87 balls v spin this WC. But in the warm-up games 69 off 56 balls v spin. That tells me it’s mental too. He does not put his wicket on the line as much in the big games. #ICCCWC2019,” read his tweet. This surely did not go down well with the netizens as they slammed him not only for his tweet but also for his commentary on-air. Check out Manjerkar’s tweet below:
