"More than Sourav, I think Ravi is miffed with the rejection. It's a new experience for him. BCCI have made the better choice as coach," Manjrekar tweeted today.
However, earlier in the day Bedi supported Shastri in what has become a major controversy.
"Not getting coach's job apart RJSHASTRI has every reason 2b peeved with selection process whence 1 selector played truant..Not above board!!" Bedi wrote.
Veteran India discard Gautam Gambhir spoke to ABP News and was also critical of Shastri's comments. Gambhir's comments were in sync with Manjrekar's view.

"Ravi Shastri's comments only shows his desperation. Kumble is the best choice, he is hard working person," Gambhir told ABP News.
Ganguly today hit back at Shastri saying that the former India all-rounder was living in "fool's world" if he held him responsible for the rejection.
Another former captain Anil Kumble was chosen ahead of Shastri as the head coach for a period of one year.
