Sanjay Manjrekar clashed with Yashasvi Jaiswal, debated on Live TV by taking the names of Rohit and Kohli

Team India lost the Melbourne Test match and Australia won by a huge margin of 184 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the series. There were many reasons for the Indian team's defeat, which everyone is discussing. One such discussion suddenly turned into a debate when Yashasvi Jaiswal's mistake was being discussed but then famous commentator Sanjay Manjrekar mentioned Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. This debate took place during the show of Star Sports, the broadcaster of the match, which surprised everyone.

Monday 30 December was the last day of the match and Team India got a target of 340 runs to win. The top order of the Indian team disappointed again. Captain Rohit Sharma (9), KL Rahul (0) and Virat Kohli (5) were out after scoring runs. After this, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant raised hopes by making a good partnership but in the third session, Team India lost 7 wickets and the match slipped out of hand.

Question raised on Jaiswal's fielding

After the match, famous British commentator Mark Nicholas, former Australian batsman Justin Langer and Manjrekar were present for discussion on Star Sports show. During this discussion, the show's anchor Mayanti Langer asked Mark Nicholas a question about Jaiswal's fielding. Jaiswal had dropped 3 easy catches on the fourth day, which benefited Australia. Nicholas directly replied that there was a loss due to dropping the catch. He said that Jaiswal should have caught those catches because these were direct catches and it affected the team.

Manjrekar clashed with Nicholas

Then suddenly Manjrekar jumped in and said that it is wrong to blame Jaiswal because he scored runs in both the innings. Manjrekar then mentioned the team captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and said that both the senior batsmen did nothing in the entire match. He objected to Mark Nicholas' statement calling Jaiswal a good catcher.

In such a situation, a small debate took place during the show. Manjrekar accused Nicholas of blaming Jaiswal for the defeat. In such a situation, Nicholas also said that he did not blame Jaiswal. The veteran commentator said that he was only asked a question about Jaiswal's catching whether it affected the match and he answered only this because matches are won only when he catches the ball.
