ICC World Cup 2019: Sanjay Manjrekar Wants Kedar Jadhav In Place of Ravindra Jadeja Against The Kiwis

Well, it seems like the former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar wants to stretch the war of words between him and the Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. In the latest tweet, he took an indirect dig at Ravindra Jadeja by highlighting his stats against the New Zealand team.

Earlier, we came across, Ravindra Jadeja slamming Sanjay Manjrekar saying that he has played a twice number of matches than him and asks to not criticise any player. Jadeja also mentioned his poor biased commentary as well.

It all started when Sanjay Manjrekar quoted that he is not a big fan of Ravindra Jadeja, who is a bits and pieces player. He felt that Jadeja is a pure spinner in Test format but not a pure player in ODI format of the game.

Get Kedar Jadhav back in place of Ravindra Jadeja – Sanjay Manjrekar

Going into highly-anticipated India and New Zealand semi-final clash at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester on Tuesday, Manjrekar shared the statistics of Indian spinners. And also, their track record against New Zealand batters. Taking a cue from it, he suggested that Jadeja, with the highest bowling average, be replaced by Kedar Jadhav in the playing XI.

“Ind could pick players specific to the pitch, boundaries & opposition. Get Kedar back in the playing XI & look at numbers of Indian spinners v NZ before picking them,” Manjrekar tweeted along with bowling performances of Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, and Jadeja versus the BlackCaps.

Further, he also insisted that the Indian team should not pick the team based on the performances in the last few games, as the pitch for the Indian game will be unworn.

“India has not played NZ before in this WC & this pitch is unlikely to be a used worn out pitch. India must plan for semis without any hangover of last four games.”

Well, it would be interesting to see with whom, that the Indian team management would go for. Mostly, they would stick with their winning core but the place of the fifth bowler will be an interesting aspect.
