Michael Vaughan hilariously requests Sanjay Manjrekar to unblock him on Twitter

Michael Vaughan hilariously requests Sanjay Manjrekar to unblock him on Twitter using a viral Yuzvendra Chahal meme

It seems the stars are not looking to align anytime soon for commentator Sanjay Manjrekar which all began after his ‘bits and pieces’ remark for the Indian all-rounder Sanjay Manjrekar before the final league match between India and Sri Lanka on July 6.

While the fans were all over Manjrekar for his comments on Jadeja, former England cricketer Michael Vaughan did the further not required formalities by commenting on his remarks when Jadeja got an opportunity to play against Sri Lanka, and then in the semi-final versus New Zealand.

Perhaps perturbed with Vaughan’s repeated digs at Manjrekar, the latter, on July 9 blocked Vaughan from the micro-blogging site Twitter. What’s worse, is that Vaughan even made the news public via a fresh tweet.

Vaughan droops to an all-time low

It’s quite obvious, especially amongst the regular contemporary social media users, that when a person blocks someone on a social media platform, it is because he/she has had enough of him/her and does not wish to tolerate further disturbance from the other person.

But, people like Vaughan perhaps, do not comprehend that every person is entitled to his/her opinion and a sly innocuous dig at the person can be accepted. But, Vaughan has now taken the useless duel to his Instagram handle to further troll the cricketer turned commentator.

The Yuzvendra Chahal meme

A recent picture from the India vs Sri Lanka World Cup match had gone viral on social media, in which India’s leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was seen relaxing behind the boundary rope, as he was not a part of the Playing 11 in that match.

Vaughan used the similar meme, to further troll Manjrekar, as he replaced Chahal’s face with his urging him to unblock him from Twitter. He perhaps wanted him to chill, just as Chahal does in that picture as this is only a banter. But, any sensible person would understand that this was yet unwarranted dig at Manjrekar, who has been subject to unfortunate trolls one time too many.
