Last night’s Ind Vs Aus match officially made Jadeja the star of the night.
India won the toss and chose to bat first. Virat Kohli came up and got 63 off 78, and Shubman Gill showed promise before getting out. But once Hardik Pandya 92 (76) and Ravindra Jadeja (66 off 50) came onto the field, things soon changed for the Boys in Blue.
Jadeja’s performance immediately reminded everyone of Sanjay Manjrekar’s infamous ‘bits and pieces’ line. So, everyone poured it out on Twitter. Scroll through some of the best ones:

I think Jadeja knows Manjrekar is on commentary.

Sanjay Manjrekar before the series: “I wouldn’t have Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya in my ODI team.”
3rd ODI: both put on 150 runs for 6th wicket and played excellent individual knocks.
