Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar called two CSK players “low profile” after the opening game of Indian Premier League (IPL) between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

The players are: Piyush Chawla and Ambati Rayudu.

Manjrekar tweeted on Saturday, “So happy for two pretty low profile cricketers Piyush Chawla and Ambati Rayudu. Chawla was sensational with the ball. Bowled the 5th & 16th over too. Rayudu..well…one of the best IPL innings from him based on quality of shots played! Well done CSK! #IPL2020.”

Recently, Manjrekar was axed from the BCCI commentary panel and later from the IPL commentary group.

The comments made by the former India player is in limelight again and users on social media platform, Twitter, criticised Manjrekar for his statement.

Dear sanjay, you should have used “ underrated” rather “low profile”. Going forward please use right words!!?

You clearly don't know what 'low profile' means. You seem to think it's a derogatory term when it isn't. Rayudu and Chawla are definitely low profile players who fly under the radar while Dhoni, Raina, Jadeja etc. get all the attention.
