“Hey ICC! Greetings from Sydney, Australia. A bit of feedback about Sanjay Manjrekar, on your commentary panel, for CWC: I find him utterly biased and very unprofessional, behind the mic. He also sounds full of himself. Other than that, great World Cup. Thanks,” read the letter which was addressed to ICC’s head office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Today during India-England match, one user wrote on Twitter,
Sanjay Manjrekar after Rohit scored 100: “Virat Kohli has scored only 60-70s in this World Cup whereas Rohit knows how to convert them into 100s, he also has 3 double hundreds in ODIs.”
Sanju Manju telling Virat how to convert 50s into 100s who already have 41 in his bank?
Other users also took it to twitter to express their frustration with Sanjay.
Let me give you a hint..
Sanjay Manjrekar said this pitch will help spinners #EnoughSaid

No of times Sanjay Manjrekar reminds the audience & his co commentators in a single ODI that Rohit has scored 3 ODI double hundreds: 47657.86

Isn't it beautiful what a great binder the game of Cricket is?
Doesn't matter if you're Hindu or Muslim, BJP or Congress, Conservative or liberal.
We are all bound for our common hate for Sanjay Manjrekar.#teamindia #WorldCup19

Looked like Sanjay Manjrekar really really wanted Afghanistan to win today. But @MdShami11 ‘s incredible HATTRICK & @Jaspritbumrah93 ‘s Yorkers came in way. Well played Afghanistan. And well done #TeamIndia 🙌🏽#INDvAFG #CWC19

Is there a single person in the world who loves Sanjay Manjrekar's commentary? I genuinely think there will be zero such people.

Changes I'd like to see in the Indian team. Dinesh Karthik for Vijay Shankar at 4. Rishabh Pant for MS Dhoni at 6. MS Dhoni to replace Ravi Shastri as the coach. Ravi Shastri to replace Sanjay Manjrekar in the commentary panel. (Ravi in spite of cliches is not grating). #CWC19
