Thok de gilli “chakde phattey napp de killi, raat nu Jalandhar savere Dilli” or “chha gaye guru”. These lines would instantly remind you of the most passionate cricket commentator ever : Navjot Singh Sidhu.
He is the man of metaphors:The kind of energy this man exudes really touches you on a gut level( both ways) . From a cricketer to a politician to a TV show judge to a commentator, the man has donned many hats. .
Known for his oratory skills, the man leaves little room for his fellow co-hosts and co-commentators (you can watch Sidhu speaking frenziedly beside a smilingly mum Shoaib Akhtar who only fills in the gap left by him).
Some consider him the most spot on commentator, the game of Cricket has ever witnessed while his critics find him extremely annoying. His Shayaris though inspiring tries your patience at times but one thing is for sure: You may love him or have an intense dislike for him but there is no getting away from him unless you keep your TV set on mute mode.
His quotes would tickle your funny bones and bowl you over by its philosophical undertone.
