Jadeja and Manjrekar in ugly war of words online

Ravi Jadeja and Sanjay Manjrekar

Birmingham: India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja yesterday hit out at former player turned commentator, Sanjay Manjrekar, saying, "I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea."

Since India's loss to England in the World Cup, Manjrekar has been vocal in his criticism of a few players, including MS Dhoni and opener KL Rahul. He also recently referred to Jadeja as a 'bits and pieces player'. The comment didn't go down well with Jadeja, who took to Twitter to vent his anger.

"Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I'm still playing. Learn to respect people who have achieved. I've heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea," he wrote.

In reply, Manjrekar wrote: "If you have a problem with my forthrightness, the problem is yours and not mine. If you put as much thought to your batting as you have to tweet against me, you'd be a better batsman and a true all-rounder. Until then, I'm sorry, you'll be a bits and pieces cricketer."
