The former India batsman-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar’s latest tweet on Mumbai has taken social media by storm.
Manjrekar, who is currently in Sri Lanka for the ongoing Nidahas tri-series tournament, posted a picturesque photo of Colombo with the caption,”Give Mumbai a nice scrub and you will get Colombo”.
