‘I would have dropped Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’, said Sanjay Manjrekar
Former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has made a shocking tweet about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. He tweeted that if he were the coach or manager of the India A team, he would have dropped left-handed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the match against Afghanistan to teach him a lesson. Manjrekar wrote on X, “If I were the coach or manager of India A, I would not have included Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the team for this match against Afghanistan. I would have done this simply to impress upon him that getting physically aggressive or engaging in a scuffle on the field is not acceptable, regardless of the provocation.”
