Indian tennis star Sania Mirza held the women's doubles no 1 spot for 80 consecutive weeks and shared her joy on Twitter, but Sanjay Manjrekar had a say in it. What followed was a war of words
Sania Mirza, Sanjay Manjrekar
Sania Mirza
Indian tennis star Sania Mirza achieved another feat and went on to talk about it on Twitter. Little did she know that former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar would have a say in it.

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar could not help himself and stay shut but went on to point out the fact that Sania Mirza is a doubles player and not the women's singles world number one, while wishing her. This is what he tweeted.
Sanjay Manjrekar
No 1 doubles player you mean. Congrats! https://t.co/Qrdyigdrro

Sania Mirza, who is quite a fighter not only on the court, but also off it, chose not to take this one lying down and went on to give a fitting reply to Manjrekar.
Since I don't play singles anymore isn't that obvious/common sense?my bad,common sense is not that common after all I guess.. :) https://t.co/fXhnaQZEM7
— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) October 19, 2016
In her next tweet, she also went to politely thank him for his wishes.
Hey.. But thanks for your wishes though ofcourse https://t.co/fXhnaQZEM7
— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) October 19, 2016
Manjrekar also didn’t keep shut. He wrote back:
Well, you missed out an important detail for someone like me who lacks common sense :) https://t.co/nLgRFONxrn
— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 19, 2016
Now, Sania replied posting a WTA article to help Manjrekar:
Clearly!!! So here you go https://t.co/vRE2vmk1ka .. An article with all the 'important details' .. :) https://t.co/lZTGBSsUNA
— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) October 19, 2016
Sanjay Manjrekar though, had the last word.
Yes, the article also says No. 1 doubles player in the world. Said what I had to, will leave all balls outside the off stump alone now ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u008aðu00c2u009fu00c2u0091u00c2u008bðu00c2u009fu00c2u008f½ https://t.co/LP37fxYE0s

Sanjay Manjrekar did not only get a great comeback from Sania Mirza but also invited some major ire from her fans on social media who went on to slam the former batsman with a series of tweets.
@MirzaSania I would have expected @sanjaymanjrekar to point out that its doubles 'tennis' player (extending his own logic)

@MirzaSania @sagarcasm @sanjaymanjrekar well played. Sanjay became complacent with all the attention he gets from cricket mad people.

However, there were quite a few supporters for Manjrekar, who went on to second his point.

Commonsense is when u can differentiate between factually correct & hopefully correct
@mirzasania No. It's like Afridi saying he is leading wicket taker w/o mentioning 'in 't20'. Hope u see the common sense. @sanjaymanjrekar
— M (@mehul88) October 19, 2016
@MirzaSania NOT Fair~NOT common knowledge dat U've completely stopped playing singles, even News Junkie like me didn't know.@sanjaymanjrekar

@MirzaSania @sanjaymanjrekar Rude!? May be he was just trying to clarify for few people who might not get it.
— Rishi Sarda (@Rishi_ManUtd) October 19, 2016
@MirzaSania common sense? to ur surprise not every1in this country follows tennis,so its not obvious for every1 that u r talking abt doubles
— Ankkush sharma (@AnkkKush) October 19, 2016
@MirzaSania Isn't that too hard a line from a sports icon such as you?
— Rajesh of Everything (@RajeshBlue) October 19, 2016
