Indian Cricket Team: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were publicly insulted, know who crossed the limits

Indian Cricket Team: India performed brilliantly in the Manchester Test and drew the match. While fans are praising the Indian team after this exciting match, a statement by former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made headlines. Manjrekar has made such a comment about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, which his fans did not like at all. His statement reflects criticism of both the legendary players in gestures. Let us know what Manjrekar said and why this statement became so controversial.

Manjrekar's controversial statement

During a discussion on Jio Hotstar, Sanjay Manjrekar said, "Rohit Sharma was batting at an average of 10 in the last series. Virat Kohli was scoring runs at an average of 30 in the last five years. It was not easy to fill the place of these two, but it was not a big loss. It was the loss of two senior players, but there was no loss of their contribution, because they were not contributing much." The meaning of this statement of Manjrekar is clear that Rohit and Virat were not performing as expected in recent times, and even in their absence the Indian team did not feel any special lack. This statement is being considered insulting to the fans of both the players, because Rohit and Virat have been two big pillars of Indian cricket for a long time.

Young batsmen shine in England series

Indian batsmen rained runs in the Test series against England. The top four batsmen in the list of run scorers are Indians. Shubman Gill has secured the first position with 722 runs. KL Rahul is at number two with 511 runs, while Rishabh Pant scored 479 runs. Ravindra Jadeja also added 454 runs at an impressive average of 113.50. It is clear from these figures that the Indian batting lineup performed brilliantly in this series even without Rohit and Virat.

How much truth is there in Manjrekar's statement?

Manjrekar's statement may sound bitter, but the figures justify his claim to some extent. Rohit and Virat have not been seen in their old form in recent times. Still, to say that their absence has had no effect is probably an exaggeration. Rohit and Virat's experience and leadership have always been important for the team. Even without them, the young players performed brilliantly, but this does not mean that their place can be completely forgotten.

Fans angry

This statement of Manjrekar has become a topic of discussion on social media. Fans of Rohit and Virat have called it an insult to both the players. Many fans believe that Manjrekar deliberately targeted these veterans. Some even said that Manjrekar should exercise restraint in his comments. On the other hand, some experts believe that Manjrekar expressed his opinion only on the basis of statistics, which may have some truth.
