India's squad that beat Pakistan in Bangalore in the 1996 World Cup: Where are they now?

#3 Sanjay Manjrekar

Manjrekar could never meet the expectations of him

Manjrekar could only amass a 43 ball 20 in the match, coming in at the fall of Tendulkar. He had the lowest strike rate in the match and his dismissal at 138 was a blessing in disguise.

Manjrekar was technically very correct, and maybe the heavy baggage of expectations and focus on technique didn’t let him make the giant strides that was expected of him. He managed about 2000 runs in Tests and ODIs each when he chose to hang his boots.

Though he couldn’t quite make a mark as a cricketer, he has gone to establish himself as a household name when it comes to commentating. His in-depth understanding of cricket has been appreciated by many in the game.
