Sanjay Manjrekar Trolled For 'Queer' Tweet Questioning Use Of Stump Mics

NEW DELHI, FEBRUARY 13 - A frequent Twitter user, Sanjay Manjrekar's opinions have not always been received warmly by other users. He has been on the receiving end of quite a lot of criticism from fans regarding his tweets.
On Tuesday, the former India cricketer weighed in on Joe Root's verbal exchange with Shannon Gabriel where the West Indian allegedly aimed a 'homophobic' jibe at the England captain. In response, Root was picked up by the stump mic appearing to say: "Don't use that as an insult. There's nothing wrong with being gay."

Comparing the incident to Sarfraz Ahmed's racial jibe at South Africa's Andile Phehlukwayo, Manjrekar bizarrely said: "ICC must brainstorm and decide if increased use of stump mics is actually good for the game or not".
His tweet was not able to please many and so he was savagely trolled.

A Twitter user wrote "Just when I think your opinions can't get worse you come up with new bizarre takes.."
Another user wrote "Let's remove the cameras too? Look at what happened to Steve Smith. All the controversy would've been avoided if there were no cameras at all. Let's just stop playing, then no one would be able to pass racist comments on the field!"

Although Gabriel's earlier comments were not picked up by the mic and Root refused to explain after the day's play exactly what was said, only saying the West Indian "might regret" the exchange.
