Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, also a former cricket player, has returned to commentary ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. He will be seen during the IPL 2024, which begins on March 23.
His continued career in politics is still intriguing, though.
“A wise man once said, “Hope is the biggest ‘tope’”. And this wise man, the great @sherryontopp himself, has joined our Incredible StarCast!,” said Star Sports in a post on X
The IPL season opener is between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 23.
Former Cabinet minister and Punjab Congress president Sidhu walked out of jail in April last year. He remained behind bars for 317 days in Patiala jail in his hometown in a 1988 road rage case.
Responding to Sidhu’s rejoining cricket commentary, Punjab BJP spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal said he was the first person in the world to foresee this. “I tweeted this two years back that you may be join back as cricket commentator or in comedy circus. Will watch your shows in the busy schedule of elections,” he added.
While talking to a TV news channel, Sidhu said, “It’s very few who will get to do what they have enjoyed the most. If you undertake something that is a cup of joy, time flies. You’re blessed. For me, commentary is a blessing, it’s a boon. It’s going to be my home ground, I am very comfortable doing commentary,” he added.
