Fans troll Sanjay Manjrekar for 'Trial By Spin In Bangladesh' tweet
Following Bangladesh's historical record-victory over West Indies in the final Test, Manjrekar tweeted: "If you don't play spin well, don't bother going to Bangladesh"
After getting slammed by England star all-rounder Ben Stokes for "chef" remark recently, former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar is now again in the news for his comment on the Bangladesh vs Windies Test series.
Following Bangladesh's historical record-victory over West Indies in the final Test, Manjrekar tweeted: "If you don't play spin well, don't bother going to Bangladesh".
If you don’t play spin well, don’t bother going to Bangladesh. They play four good spinners now. There’s no escape.#TrialBySpin

The fans were not too pleased with his comment on Twitter, with some reminding him of England's brilliant performance in Sri Lanka.
So why we went to England then?? When we can't play swing well as England plays 4 good fast bowlers

Also Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 defeated Bangladesh on a rank turner. Believe it’s more of a wind the toss and bat first and get 350-400 on the board. Team batting 2nd will definitely struggle

By that logic everyone should stay at home. Sir these days you seem out of it. Hope all is ok. Get well soon.

Just last week, Manjrekar was slammed by Stokes for making a controversial "chef" tweet after England's Test series of Sri Lanka.
So you have these hardworking chefs who have made a great dish. Someone comes and puts a little garnish on top and he gets all the credit. Moeen, Leach, Foakes are those poor chefs and Stokes the one with the garnish.

Responding politely to Manjrekar's jibe, Stokes said that cricket is a team sport.
We don’t care about personal credit,and garnish is pointless on all food anyways,we care about winning,it’s a team sport and we won as a team #3-0 Cheers Sanjay 💤 https://t.co/4oVhPVm1d5
