Top 5 cricket commentators

Harsha Bhogle

Harsha Bhogle

You probably guessed it. This was a no brainer. Harsha Bhogle is well and truly the voice of Indian cricket. He is arguably the all-time best storyteller of the game. Commenting with a neutral's point of view, his impressive soft voice, wit and intelligence make him an all time great commentator.

Many fans follow cricket for their favourite players or their favourite teams, but quite a few of us follow it largely due to the IIM Ahmedabad graduate. His in-depth knowledge, analysis, logical and reasonable views on cricket sets him apart from other Indian commentators. His wide intellect and far-sighted vision are enough to glue a cricket fan to the television set for hours. In addition to all of this, he is capable of combining his keen eye for details and precise analytical skills with a dash of humour. For instance, while explaining Pujara’s excellence in the longest format of the game and how he looks completely out of place in the T20 format, Harsha came up with an apt comparison, “Pujara is a classical musician in the era of Yo Yo Honey Singh.” This is just one of the many quotes which prove why he is the undisputed king of the broadcasting fraternity.
