Sanjay Manjrekar Faces Backlash for On-Air Comment During Women's T20 World Cup

The former cricketer's remark about Indian players has sparked criticism and calls for his removal from commentary duties.

Sanjay Manjrekar made a controversial comment during the India vs New Zealand Women's T20 World Cup match, stating he doesn't pay much attention to North Indian players.
Social media users have widely criticized Manjrekar's remark, labeling it as biased and calling for his dismissal from the commentary panel.
The comment was made during a discussion about Munish Bali, the Indian women's team's fielding coach, who hails from Punjab.
Critics highlighted the irony of Manjrekar's ignorance, given that the team captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, is also from Punjab.
India suffered a 58-run defeat to New Zealand in the match, with the team's performance overshadowed by the commentary controversy.
