Sanjay Manjrekar's Commentary Sparks Debate During India vs England Test

Commentary Box Buzz During the Test Match

During the first Test match between India and England at Headingley, Leeds, viewers were treated to an intriguing moment in the commentary box that quickly became a topic of discussion on social media.

This incident unfolded on the fifth ball of the 21st over when Brydon Carse bowled a delivery outside the off stump. Indian opener KL Rahul chose to let the ball pass without attempting a shot, showcasing excellent judgment.

At that moment, commentator Sanjay Manjrekar praised both KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal for their shot selection and self-restraint. However, his subsequent remarks stirred controversy.

Manjrekar remarked:

"A former batter might have gone for that delivery, played a risky shot, and found himself in trouble, but these two have shown better discipline."

While he refrained from naming anyone directly, fans on social media quickly speculated that his comments were a subtle critique of Virat Kohli, who has often faced dismissals for chasing deliveries outside the off stump.
