Was the target against Virat Kohli?

Manjrekar also gave controversial statement on Jadeja
Not only Virat Kohli, Sanjay Manjrekar also gave a controversial statement on Ravindra Jadeja before the commencement of Leeds Test. Sanjay Manjrekar said in a show that Ravindra Jadeja should not give a chance against England. On Jadeja, Manjrekar argued that Gill should think about another spinner. Jadeja has not been able to perform well for some time. According to Manjrekar, Jadeja was not able to perform well in Australia, so Gill should think about another option. However, Shubman Gill has given Ravindra Jadeja a chance in the first Test.
