The two former Indian cricketers were involved in a playful but heated conversation on Sony Sports Network’s Extraaa Innings on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle. Earlier, Shubman Gill took a screamer at cover to send back Kamindu Mendis in IND vs SL 1st Test.
Kartik started the banter by taking a dig at Manjrekar’s expression. He said on Sony Sports Network, “You have the pout of the century, but because of your pout, we are not able to understand what you say. So, please limit that pout, please, please, please.”
Ajinkya Rahane distances himself from the argument
The former Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane then stepped in and quickly distanced himself from the argument, saying, “Sanjay bhai, let me be clear, I was not involved in this.”
The commentator said, “Can we cut? Can we make this split screen and shift the camera to the other guy? Because he's a much more pleasant person to talk to, and he's got a much more pleasant face as well.” Kartik objected, saying, “You can't discriminate.”
The exchange then reached its most spicy moment. Manjrekar fired back by saying, “Because there is an incentive. There is an incentive to look in the mirror. For you, I can understand; it's not very motivating anyway. We are both going to cross lines here, and social media will have a field day.”
