Former India pacer Vinay Kumar responded to a recent comment made by former cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, who dismissed Kumar's bowling speed as '120 kmph' during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test between India and Australia in Perth.

Manjrekar’s remark came during a commentary segment with Mark Nicholas and Russel Arnold, where he stated that medium pacers, like Kumar, had historically dominated India’s domestic cricket circuit, owing to the grassy surfaces on Indian pitches.
