The waiting period of 12 years has once again been extended by a minimum of 4 years. Australia beat India in the final match of the World Cup on Sunday, which remained undefeated throughout the tournament. Cricket experts are citing many technical reasons for this defeat, but the anger of the social public is on the commentator Sanjay Manjrekar and the crowd in Ahmedabad.
On the one hand, there are demands that Manjrekar be removed from commenting. Also, it is being said that if the Wankhede ground in Mumbai was instead of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the spectators would not have let the players down. Social media users blamed Manjrekar and his commentary for India’s poor batting.
Understand the reason
Batting first, the Indian team managed to dominate early on, but early shocks changed the course of the match. Now that the batsmen were struggling against the Australian bowlers, the spectators in Ahmedabad were left speechless. Now people are wondering on social platforms whether Manjrekar was the reason for this.
It is being said that Manjrekar was in the commentary box at the time of the wicket of captain Rohit Sharma, opener Shubman Gill and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Rohit contributed 47 runs, Gill 4 runs and Jadeja 9 runs.
What are users saying?
A user named Pratim Dasgupta writes, ‘…don’t want to listen to Manjrekar.’ Roshal Ali wrote, ‘Hotstar should provide mute commentator option. They can also make it a paid feature. I can pay Rs 100 per month not to hear Manjrekar’s voice. A user named Sudipto wrote, ‘Sanjay Manjrekar was the person officially appointed to represent the opposing team in the commentary box in All India matches.’
Commotion on the field
Many users on social media are also questioning the silence of Ahmedabadi viewers. One user wrote, ‘This is why you should hold the final in a stadium like Wankhede. The crowd fell silent. Had it been Wankhede, the stadium would have been so excited, so noisy and intimidating to the opposition. There was no advantage to being home ground.
One user wrote, ‘This crowd was really embarrassing. Kohli had to work hard to please him. One user wrote, ‘Pat Cummins said, tomorrow our aim will be to calm the big crowd. People of Ahmedabad said – we will not speak ourselves, don’t worry.
