Sanjay Manjrekar, a former Indian cricketer, and Ravindra Jadeja, a current all-rounder, got into a violent argument in 2019. After India's 31-run loss to England in Birmingham during the 2019 World Cup, then-batting coach Sanjay Bangar stated that Jadeja would play against Bangladesh. Manjrekar was not pleased with the probable move.
Jadeja was described as a "bits and pieces" cricketer by the veteran. The remark irritated Jadeja, who retaliated against Manjrekar. Jadeja sparkled with a half-century in the semi-final, despite the Men in Blue losing to New Zealand.
Manjrekar stated in 2019 that Jadeja does not meet the standards for being a proper one-day player. The veteran described him as a "pure bowler" in Test cricket.
“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,” Manjrekar, earlier, said.
