Former India cricketer and current commentator Sanjay Manjrekar was brutally trolled on social media for his comments regarding Virat Kohli’s batting position while taking jab at Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev. Due to unavailability of Shubman Gill fo the 1st Test, Kohli had to move up the order at No 3 for the first time in eight years. Not only did Manjerekar praised Kohli but also compared him to Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, who he said were reluctant to change their batting positions in Tests.
However Kohli faced just nine ball before getting out without scoring. Manjrekar quickly turned critical when Kohli failed to perform. He said, “Have said this before will say it again. Virat has compounded his problems by wanting to be on the front foot to every ball. No matter the length. Today’s dismissal ball could have been comfortably tackled off the back foot.”
Here's what the fan's had to say on his comment
India register embarrassing record
Tea India did not have a great start to the Test match against new Zealand as they were bowled out for just 46 runs in their first innings. Following the batting collapse, India registered their third lowest score in test cricket history.
In response Tom Latham & Co. started strongly compared to India's first innings score. Not only did they managed to take the lead but also put India under more pressure.
New Zealand reached 82 for 1 by tea on Day 2 with a lead of 36 runs over India. Devon Conway was not out on 61 with Will Young at the other end batting on 5. Latham was the only batter to be dismissed for 15 by Kuldeep Yadav.
