2) Harsha Bhogle not part of the tournament
The television viewers of the IPL 2016 didn’t get to hear the quintessential voice of Harsha Bhogle this season as his contract with the lucrative league was unceremoniously terminated just before the start of the tournament.
The exclusion of the renowned commentator, who has been donning the commentator’s hat in the lucrative league for the last eight editions, earned a lot of flak on social media.
It even gave rise to the speculations that Bhogle was omitted because of his ‘unbiased’ stance during the ICC T20 World Cup 2016. Other stories also cropped up before the man in question responded about his sudden ouster.
The news surely made the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
