“I don’t want to talk about him…”: K Srikkanth insults Manish Pandey on live TV

Former BCCI chairman Krishnamachari Srikkanth seemed utterly frustrated with Manish Pandey's performance. 

The Delhi Capitals have finally been able to get two points in IPL 2023 after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday (April 20). Batting first, KKR set a low target of 128 runs. However, the chase was not easy for DC. Despite a half-century from Warner, DC won the match by 4 wickets with just 4 balls left.

However, the frustrations with the Capitals have crept in the minds of not only the fans but also former cricketers. So much so, that during a discussion on the Star Sports Cricket Live show, former BCCI chairman Krishnamachari Srikkanth simply refused to answer a question about Manish Pandey.

Meadows: Chikka, a word about Manish Pandey. He hasn’t quite been able to… (gets interrupted)

Srikkanth: Why are we talking about Manish Pandey? I don’t want to talk about him. The guy shouldn’t even be in the team. Let’s talk about Axar Patel, how he has been in the form of his life and deserves to bat higher.

Meadows: Well, Chikka seems to be pretty clear that he doesn’t want to talk about Manish Pandey.

Srikkanth: No, I don’t want to talk about him. He shouldn’t be in this team. If I was the chairman of selectors, he wouldn’t have played.

Manish Pandey is one of those cricketers who played for many teams in the Indian Premier League. Pandey has played for seven different teams – Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Pune Warriors India, Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants last year and now Delhi Capitals.
