Sanjay Manjrekar Tried To Troll Sania Mirza Celebrating 80 Weeks As World No 1, Here's Her Epic Takedown.

Sania Mirza is surely over the moon after celebrating 80 weeks at the No. 1 WTA ranking. Not many Indians get to enjoy a world No 1 ranking for so long in any sport across disciplines. So she is definitely special and one of India's most dominant female athletes in the last couple of years. 

However, those who don't follow tennis diligently need to get some clarity over the basics that she is number one in the world in the doubles category and not singles. One of those people are Sanjay Manjrekar, a former India batsman and popular cricket commentator.

When Sania posted that she's celebrating 80 weeks at the top, Manjrekar replied back seeking some clarity over her ranking status. And then Sania hit back with a direct reality check... 

Today I complete 80 consecutive weeks as the number 1 player in d world??its been an amazing journey and just inspires me to work harder @WTA pic.twitter.com/BsHoeU0YAT

@sanjaymanjrekar @MirzaSania She is the No.1 player in the world. Rankings are not given to pairs, they r given to individuals.

@sanjaymanjrekar thanks for the correction, but I thought being an Ex Indian sportsperson this was expected to be known, @MirzaSania @WTA

@sanjaymanjrekar your attempts to belittle other people are sadder than your batting career.

@sanjaymanjrekar Nice trolling. Mr. Manjrekar but were you ever part of No. 1 Team?@MirzaSania @WTA

However, Manjrekar, the gentleman he is behind the mic, humbly accepted his mistake and went on the backfoot when Sania clarified to him the details with a WTA article.

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

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 ?????? https://t.co/LP37fxYE0s
