Revealed! How 'good friends' Harsha Bhogle and Virat Kohli fell out and it led to his ouster from commentary panel | Latest News & Up...
It's been almost a year that the 'voice of Indian cricket', Harsha Bhogle has been missing from the commentary box. While cricket aficionados are ruing the fact that the well-renowned commentator has to bear the brunt of unjust wishes of some senior Indian cricketers, there's no sign of change in Bhogle's fortune as he has not been called up by official broadcasters, Star Sports for the upcoming Test series against Australia.
The crux of the matter is that some stars of Indian team, mainly MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Murali Vijay felt that the Mumbaikar used to ask tricky questions during interviews while his commentary was not India centric during last year's World T20.
During the World T20 held in India last year, Bhogle was indirectly criticised by Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan who tweeted, "With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time." Dhoni who is rarely active on Twitter, immediately retweeted the post and this proved to a major blow for Bhogle. His contract with Star Sports wasn't renewed as players reportedly made it clear to BCCI that they won't be interacting with Bhogle in front of the camera in future.
