Sanjay Manjrekar had a tough time on Twitter after making a gaffe with South African cricketer Quinton de Kock's name. Manjrekar is doing commentary in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 and while sharing his opinion on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) wicket-keeper, he goofed up with De Kock's name.
De Kock had taken a brilliant one-handed catch diving to his left to send Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma back to the pavilion. Rohit would have survived but the wicket-keeper was quick to ask for the review after umpire refused to give out.
Seeing the effort and the decision to review the dismissal, Manjrekar lauded the keeper and tweeted, "See how important wicket keeping is in T20s also!#QuintonDeCock."
See how important wicket keeping is in T20s also!#QuintonDeCock

However, he couldn't get the spelling right and wrote Cock instead of Kock. Twitteratis were waiting for the opportunity. They grabbed the chance with both hands and jumped into Manjrekar's Twitter mentions to roast him.
Here are the tweets:
Perhaps spelling his name right would help Sanjay
