Mumbai: Kieron Pollard lost his cool and slammed cricketer-turned-commentator in a series of tweets after Mumbai Indians’ thrilling win over Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday.

Pollard, who scored 17 in as many balls, was not pleased with Manjrekar’s on air comments about him during the run of play and in no uncertain ways made the Indian know what he felt of them.

Manjrekar, who was commentating on the game, said, “When I look at Pollard, I look at him as more a six-seven-overs-left-in-the-innings batsman. Whether he will be able to bat at No. 3 and whether he has the versatility to pick up the singles if the boundaries are not coming, does he have the range as a batsman? I don’t think so. My view is, maybe six or seven overs left in the innings is the perfect time for Pollard to come in.

Pollard did not mince words as he came down heavily on Manjrekar with one of the tweets saying: “u feel any positive can come out of your mouth bcuz  u get pay to talk u can continue with your verbal diarrhea ..”

This is not the first time when Manjrekar was criticised by prominent personalities. Earlier, Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza had taken a dig at the former cricketer for his 'world number 1 ranking' remark.
