According to the fan, Manjrekar while commentating during India’s match against Afghanistan, in reference to MS Dhoni used the word ‘our’. In his letter to ICC he wrote “Hey ICC! Greetings from Sydney, Australia. A bit of feedback about Sanjay Manjrekar, on your commentary panel, for CWC: I find him utterly biased and very unprofessional, behind the mic. He also sounds full of himself. Other than that, great World Cup. Thanks,”

I wrote to ICC about it. This is for the comment Manjrekar made a few days ago when he said this about Dhoni: “He is our watchdog behind the stumps”. You are a commentator. You have no side. There is no “us”. There is no “our”.

Among several Indian cricketers such as Lakshman Sivaramakrishnan, Ravi Shashtri, Sourav Ganguly, Sanjay Manjrekar is one of them. The former cricketer is either too harsh on a few players or too favourable to a few others. Fans find his opinions baseless at times and get extremely irked by his comments.

Hey @ICC Please dismiss Sanjay Manjrekar from all cricket event especially commentary. His commentary is very very awful#INDvsWI

Is there a single person in the world who loves Sanjay Manjrekar’s commentary? I genuinely think there will be zero such people.
