Navjot Singh Sidhu
Known for his hearty laughter as much for aggressive batting, Navjot Singh Sidhu played 51 Tests for the Indian team, having made his debut in 1983. He also represented the team in 134 ODIs.
Popular in the commentary box for his quirky style and unique metaphors, his comments have been branded as “Siddhuism” by his followers. Yet, he decided to make the jump to politics, and joined the BJP in 2004.
He has been successful in the political arena as well, having won the Lok sabha elections twice. However, he was not a ticket by the BCCI in 2014, and he left for greener pastures.
Finally, he formed a party of his own, named ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’.
