Ravindra Jadeja played the innings of his life during the India vs New Zealand match in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. However, the left-handed batsman and all-rounder failed to take the team across the line in the semi-final. However, Sanjay Manjrekar's "bit and pieces" comment on all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's selection in the ICC Cricket World Cup Team India playing XI against Sri Lanka created a lot of controversy. Both fans and Jadeja himself hit back at Manjrekar for his comments. Ravindra Hits Back at Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar; Netizens Support the Indian All-Rounder.

Ravindra Jadeja had hit back at Sanjay Manjrekar for his insulting comments on the all-rounder. Post India's defeat against England in Birmingham, India's batting coach Sanjay Bangar hinted that Jadeja might play against Bangladesh. When the former cricketer and commentator was asked about all-rounder's selection, he replied “I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players, which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50-over cricket. In Test matches, he is a pure bowler. But in 50-over cricket, I would rather have a batsman and a spinner.”

However, the all-rounder couldn't bear the insult and lashed at the commentator for his criticism. He took to Twitter and hit back at Manjerekar by saying "Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved.i have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea."
