The IPL has almost everything today. Multimillion dollar players whose astonishing salaries make a mockery of the current "recession", crazy celebrity owners who are more revered than a pharoah's first-born, a dedicated and ever-growing audience, excitement, controversies, cheerleaders, everything! But if you add one more spice, this recipe would be complete.
How about bringing back an obnoxious but ferocious character named -- Navjyot Singh Sidhu back into the commentary box?!
Anyone who has watched cricket on TV in the early years of this decade will be quite familiar with his adventurous color commentary, which changed the rules in the commentary box forever. The once flamboyant Indian batsman used his often absurd remarks, witty comebacks, and strange logic to bamboozle his co-commentator but entertain the audience.
He often took swipes at his "friend" Sir Geoffrey Boycott, dominated poor Harsha Bhogle, left Mr. Ravi Shastri confused, Martin Crowe speechless, and left Danny Morrison in splits!
Want to take a trip down the memory-lane you say? Here are some select "Sidhuisms" in no specific order of merit.
