Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sindhu, an Indian politician, has charmed people with his witty comments on cricket field as well as television. He had a career as a professional cricketer for 19 years. After his retirement, he is still connected to cricket as a commentator and that too a very entertaining one. On his birthday, we bring forth the tickling dose of commentary of his career.
1. When Sourav Ganguly had to wait too long to catch a ball.
“That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it.”
2. At a match where India was about to sag.
“There is light at the end of the tunnel for tunnel, but it’s that of an oncoming train which will run them over.”
3. 14 required of 2 balls: Sidhu comes out with this.
“Yeh wahi baat hui ki agar meri Chachi ko moonchey hoti to main unhe Chacha kehta.”
4. Sidhu's commentary in India vs Srilanka T20 world-cup finale:
“Ballebaaz crease ke itna bahar nikle ki, Dhoni ne pehle chai pi phir akhbaar padha aur phir jaakar stumpout kiya.”
5. Addressing South Africa’s abilities in major tournaments.
“Cooker aur South Africa, pressure mein dono ki seeti baaj jati hai.”
6. During another match where team India played badly.
“The way Indian wickets are falling reminds me of the cycle stand at the Rajendra Talkies, one falls and everything else falls.”
7. Sindhu on Third Umpires.
“The Third Umpires should be changedas often as nappies and for the same reason.”
8. When a catch was dropped.
“The ball slipped from his hands like butter from hot parantha.”
9. On Lakshmipathy Balaji’s bowling.
“He swung the ball like a banana.”
10. When a bowler delivered a slow ball.
“His slower ball was so slow that my mamma can run faster than that.”
