Vinay Kumar Responds to Sanjay Manjrekar's '120kmph' Comment During Perth Test

Former Indian pacer Vinay Kumar defends his career achievements after commentator Sanjay Manjrekar's remarks on medium pacers during India-Australia Test match.

Sanjay Manjrekar commented during the Perth Test that medium pacers like Vinay Kumar succeeded in domestic cricket due to grassy pitches and bowling at 120kmph.
Vinay Kumar responded on social media, refuting the claim and emphasizing his pride in his achievements, including being the first Indian pacer to take 100 IPL wickets.
Kumar highlighted his extensive domestic career, which includes 442 Ranji Trophy wickets—the highest for a pacer—and over 500 first-class wickets overall.
Manjrekar's remarks drew criticism from fans and players, with some recalling his history of controversial statements about other cricketers, including Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja.
Vinay Kumar played for India across all formats and represented multiple IPL teams, including RCB and KKR, achieving significant milestones in his career.
