Throwbacks are fun and nostalgic, especially if you’ve played cricket as a profession and traveled around the world. It isn’t hard to guess when Sanjay Manjrekar, cricketer turned commentator, too had a wave of nostalgia sweep him over when he found an old picture of him posing on the beach.
So, obviously, with excitement creeping in from everywhere, he was unable to control his desire to share it with his humble twitter followers. While he was excited, Manjrekar also had a bit of complaint. The caption which accompanied the picture was a nice sarcastic attempt at showing off his body of the yesteryears and also a humorous dig at Sachin Tendulkar’s photography skills. He certainly didn’t like being a side cast in the picture of two.
He tweeted: “Trying to show off our biceps in the 90s. Pic off centre isn’t it? He was better with the bat I guess, the photographer, Sachin Tendulkar.”

Looking at his physique, Manjrekar was obviously joking about his biceps but at the same time, he had many fans curious to know who was the tall person standing next to him. A few made guesses and proved to be right as Manjrekar made a quick reply to clear the doubts and revealed it was former fast-bowler Prashant Vaidya who shared the picture with him.
Ref last tweet – With me in the picture is Prashant Vaidya. Former India fast bowler & a great friend.

On the other hand, a few of the followers trolled him. A couple of them shared photography tricks while one follower made sure he pointed out how Manjrekar was making his biceps look more visible by putting his fists behind it for the bulging effect.
why u hv not tagged @sachin_rt in this. He done his job perfectly as vaidya is in the centre. U always have had side roles.
