Sanjay Manjrekar was indeed technically sound, but for a batsman believed to be the next Sunil Gavaskar, he didn't live up to expectations. According to experts, he inherited the technicalities from his father Vijay who excelled at it. The hundred he scored against West Indies at Bridgetown in 1988-89 was imperious. He had more in store and a double and single century in Pakistan followed soon. Though unfortunately he made just one more century in his career, a strenuous effort against Zimbabwe. He had to work hard on his rhythm and form on the Australian and South African bouncy pitches. Sadly, he could never bring back that poise and balance. Manjrekar tried out as an opener in 1997, but soon faded out from international cricket. He was an occasional wicket keeper as well.

After announcing his retirement, Sanjay Manjrekar found popularity as a commentator and is one of the leading figures of television commentary today. livescore.warofcricket.com provides the profile of Sanjay Manjrekar and other cricketers around the world.
