The former Indian captain slammed cricketer-turned-commentator Manjrekar for questioning K L Rahul's selection in India's Test squad for the upcoming Australia tour.
According to Manjrekar, a bad precedent is set when a played is recalled for Test on the basis of his IPL performance and it "massively demotivates" those playing the Ranji Trophy.
Due to white-ball vice-captain Rohit Sharma's excellent captaincy track record in the T20 cricket, especially in the IPL, time and time again spilt captaincy debate opens up in India but according to Manjrekar, there is no need at all.
Manjrekar disagreed with the choice of the man-of-the-match after India outplayed New Zealand by seven wickets in the second T20I at Auckland.
One of the most accomplished voices among Indian experts, Manjrekar, who got embroiled in controversies in recent years for some of his views on air, was axed from the BCCI's commentary panel for the South Africa series recently.
Manjrekar was referring to his spat with Ravindra Jadeja during the ICC World Cup and after that the 'unprofessional and indecent' comment he made about celebrated commentator Harsha Bhogle.
