Sanjay Manjrekar Says Only World Cup Matters After India’s ODI Series Loss to New Zealand

Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar downplayed India's recent ODI series loss to New Zealand, calling it 'no big deal' and emphasizing that only the World Cup holds significant importance in 50-over cricket today. He urged fans and critics not to overreact to bilateral series results, describing them as warm-up games that rarely have lasting impact. Manjrekar also defended head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill, suggesting setbacks in smaller series can help teams prepare for major tournaments like the World Cup.
