Guess who is Ishan Porel's dream wicket to pick t20worldcup cricket viratkohli. But the quarantine requirements meant I would have to be away for days for one game.

I have spent a lot of time in bubbles and there are more ahead. But quarantine requirements meant I would have to be away for days for one game. I am enjoying being home and so, regretfully, had to pull out. Meanwhile, BCCI had earlier allowed families and close ones of cricketers to travel with them to the United Kingdom UK for the four-month-long tour to avoid bio-bubble fatigue and homesickness.

He has lent his voice across all seasons of the IPL and the cricket lovers have enjoyed every bit of his commentary. He is known for his sharp analysis of the game and his ability to ask relevant questions.

When on air, he invariably pulls out those one-liners leaving the listeners in splits. Over the years, through his deep knowledge, Bhogle has shown that one can be extremely successful in the field of commentary even if he has not played the game at the highest level.

The Board has said that after every tournament, they review the performances of the commentators and based on that they renew their contracts.

If performance is the only criterion that has influenced the BCCI to take this decision, then this decision is highly debatable. Bhogle, in my opinion, was one of the better Indian commentators in the T20 World Cup, if not the best.

There is surely something rotten in Denmark. Bhogle, who is proficient in both English and Hindi, was part of the bilingual commentary team of Star Sports during the T20 World Cup. Now imagine this, instead of making a way for the commentators through the enclosure, the VIP box was kept shut by the officials.

This forced the bilingual commentators to take the stairs and rush up and down the stairs after every commentary stint. Bhogle himself said that because of the tight deadlines, he was at times panting, as he went on air.

This theory could be dated back to the India Bangladesh game where a tweet from Mr. Amitabh Bachchan could have acted as a trigger.

T - With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time. Bachchan, a cricket enthusiast, criticized an Indian commentator presumably Bhogle for not talking more about Indian cricketers during the game and in the post match analysis.
