10 Best commentators of all time
These 10 men made a significant impact on the sport with their iconic voices and viewpoints.
3. Harsha Bhogle
One of the few experts who made it so big in the fraternity with a great playing profile, Harsha Bhogle is often hailed as the voice of Indian cricket. One of the finest men to have ever stepped inside the commentary panels, Bhogle’s enigmatic voice, unmatched wit and keen eye for detail made him a house-hold voice in this cricket-frantic country.
Born in 1958, Bhogle’s career as a commentator began with All India Radio at a tender age of 19. He soon got an invitation from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to commentate for the 1992 World Cup, becoming the first-ever Indian to get such an invitation. It didn’t take long for Bhogle’s voice to be recognized in every street of the cricketing world.
He also had his share of controversies, where he was also dropped by BCCI for being too harsh on players on occasions, but none can disregard the astute professional he is. One of his finest moments came when he described the Champions Trophy-winning moment in 2013.
