Ravindra Jadeja on his famous celebration in World Cup 2019 semi-final: People know who I was targeting

Ravindra Jadeja said that he was searching for Sanjay Manjrekar in the commentary box after his fifty in World Cup 2019 semi-final so that he could target his sword celebrations directly at him.

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja opened on his famous celebration in the World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand, saying he was 'searching for the commentary box' to direct his typical sword celebration towards Sanjay Manjrekar. Jadeja had played a valiant 77-run knock to bring India within touching distance of victory before Virat Kohli's team fell 18 runs short of the target in the end as they got bowled out for 221 against New Zealand. Manjrekar's public jibe at Ravindra Jadeja in 2019 had invited sharp criticism from the cricket fraternity. He had famously called the all-rounder a 'bits and pieces player'. Jadeja had hit back immediately as well, labeling the remarks 'verbal diarrhea' in an unusual reaction during a World Cup.
