Sanjay Manjrekar has been the talk of the town in the past week after Ravindra Jadeja hit back at him for calling him a 'bits and pieces cricketer'. Now, Michael Vaughan has taken a sly dig at the former Indian player, sarcastically mocking him for including Jadeja in his 'Predicted XI'
Five days ago, Indian Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja sensationally hit back at Sanjay Manjrekar for calling him a "bits and pieces cricketer", claiming via Twitter that he had enough of Manjrekar's 'verbal diarrhoea'. Manjrekar, who has never been the most popular of figure among the fans, has been the talk of the town ever since Jadeja's tweet.
Manjrekar has been trolled by fans and experts alike ever since the Jadeja incident, and now former English Cricket Michael Vaughan has joined the ban, taking a shot at the Indian Commentator. Manjrekar took to Twitter to post his "Predicted Indian XI" for the Semi-Final, and sensationally enough, included a certain Ravindra Jadeja in his team.
Trying to predict Indian team for the semis. Let’s see how many I get right. Do send yours too. Will retweet a few.

In response this, Vaughan pounced on the opportunity to troll Manjrekar and sarcastically mocked him for including Jadeja in his playing XI.

Manjrekar was quick to defend his tweet, and pointed out to Vaughan that he had barely posted a "predicted XI" and not his own team, thereby including Jadeja in it.
‘Predicted’ my dear Vaughan...not ‘my’ team. 🙄 https://t.co/vKisWU0vyK

However, Vaughan was hell-bent on trolling the Indian commentator, and asked Manjrekar what his XI would be, and whether he would include any "bits and pieces" cricketer in his XI.
What’s your team then my dear Sanjay !! Are you picking any bits & pieces cricketers ? https://t.co/USVzBmoD9G

Manjrekar subsequently did not respond to this tweet, but one thing is for sure - he can expect a lot more trolls and memes to come his way, with people in no mood to forgive him for his "bits and pieces" remark.
