In response, former India batter Manjrekar asked the director to switch the camera to Ajinkya Rahane , who was commentating in an international match for the first time. Because of it, the incident happened during the lunch break when Kartik, who was in the studio, mocked Manjrekar, who was in Galle, over his pout on live TV, suggesting that it is hard to understand what he says sometimes. Former India cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Murali Kartik were involved in an on-air spat during Day 3 of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle.
Kartik and Manjrekar Address Communication Challenges
“A gentle request and a big request from one and all here: 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,” said Kartik during a recent discussion. Manjrekar added, “There is an incentive to look in the mirror. For you, I can understand it’s not very motivating. Anyway, we’re both going to cross lines here, and social media will have a field day.”
