Murali Vijay slams Manjrekar for ‘surprised’ remark on air

Murali Vijay and Sanjay Manjrekar

Former India opener Murali Vijay slammed ex-player turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar for his reaction to his name being on the top of the batters' conversation rates list in the country.

The incident took place on Day Two of the first Test between India and Australia at VCA Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur when a stat was shown on television about conversion rates in Test cricket. Vijay topped the list among Indian batsmen in India, followed by Mohammed Azharuddin, Polly Umrigar, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Manjrekar seemed a bit "surprised" on seeing Vijay's name at the top and in reply, the former right-handed batter slammed him through Twitter.

"Some Mumbai ex-players can never be appreciative of the south! #showsomelove #equality #fairplayforall @sanjaymanjrekar @BCCI," tweeted Vijay. "@sanjaymanjrekar Surprised wow," read another tweet from Vijay. Vijay announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket last month.
