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.
Meanwhile, Manjrekar appears to have himself entangled in yet another controversy, with one of his personal chats being disclosed by a Twitter user. Manjrekar mentioned in one of them that Jadeja does not know English.

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.
“Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I am still playing. Learn to respect people who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea,” Jadeja’s reply read.
After two years, Jadeja has established himself as a key player of the national squad in all formats. He is now preparing to face New Zealand in the World Test Championship final on June 18 in Southampton.
