Former Team India batsman and current commentator Sanjay Manjrekar often shares interesting insights when it comes to the world of cricket on social media. More often than not, Manjrekar's comments earn him a lot of criticism and Twitterati loves feasting on any remotely ironical tweet that Manjrekar posts. Manjrekar courted a lot of controversy during the World Cup last year when he called Ravindra Jadeja 'a bits-and-pieces cricketer.'

NZ vs Ind 4th T20: Sanjay Manjrekar gives bowling advice to Jasprit Bumrah
When New Zealand tied the third T20I against India in Hamilton, Indian skipper Virat Kohli did not hesitate before he threw the ball over to Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the Super Over. Bumrah ended up being expensive for India as the Kiwis scored 17 off that over. India, courtesy of Rohit Sharma's class, easily won the Super Over by scoring 20 runs in reply. Manjrekar then took to Twitter to give some bowling advice to Jasprit Bumrah. Here is the tweet.
Watched that super over from Bumrah. He is such a fabulous bowler but he could use the crease a little more to create different delivery angles. #INDvsNZ

Heard Sanjay's commentary. He is such a fabulous commentator, but he could use the mute button on his microphone to create different (better) experience

1 bad day and even average players of their time become advisors to worlds best. Not implying that its bad to give advice, its just the credibility of the source of advice. I find it funny! 😆
