5 commentators we would've loved to hear during the IPL

3. Geoffrey Boycott

Just like fellow Englishman Tony Greig, Geoffrey Boycott too dresses dapper for every game and has his trademark hat on. Quite contrary to his traditional, forward defensive style of batting, Boycott is rather outspoken as a commentator and clearly articulates his thoughts. Moreover, given his knowledge and experience of the game, he can be very insightful as a commentator. All this combined with his typical Yorkshire accent make him a must-have on this list.

In today’s age, wherein most of the commentators are fence sitters and shy away from commenting on controversial issues, Boycott is one man who wouldn’t think twice before speaking his mind. He is also known to take digs at players for committing mistakes on the field.

Very often when fielders drop catches, Boycott in his inimitable style remarks, “My grandmother could have caught that in her pinny.”
