Days after India’s T20 World Cup win, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar’s strange comment on the achievement has gone viral.

“All this is true. But perhaps the worst time to say this is right after winning the T20 World Cup. No one is holding a gun to your head and asking you to tell the bitter truth. It’s like Sania Mirza celebrating becoming world No. 1 in the rankings and you replying ‘in doubles’,” comedian Abhijeet Ganguly replied to Manjrekar’s tweet.
Fans also seemed angry with the former player’s opinion.
During this time, India dominated in the T20 World Cup final To lift their second consecutive trophy in the format. India saved its crown by defeating New Zealand by a huge margin of 96 runs. Jasprit Bumrah and Sanju Samson were the stars of the show in the match held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
