After a hiatus of a decade, former Indian batter Navjot Singh Sidhu is making a comeback as a commentator for the IPL 2024. Keen to resume his broadcasting career, Sidhu disclosed he was compensated generously during his previous IPL commentary stint, earning INR 25 Lakh per day.
Cricket has always been Sidhu’s greatest passion. Renowned for his witty remarks, he believes the 17th season of the IPL will help set the stage for the ICC World Cup 2924.
In an interview with news agency PTI, Sidhu opined Kohli as the greatest Indian batsman but voiced his doubts about Rohit’s fitness.
“They’re both excellent players. Regarding Rohit’s level of fitness, I am unsure. As you get older, your reflexes and speed tend to get slower. I noticed that Sehwag’s reflexes were different in the IPL when he wore those glasses. For me, Rohit Sharma is Virender Sehwag with glasses.”
After leading Mumbai Indians as captain for 10 years, veteran opener Rohit Sharma has been replaced by Hardik Pandya as the skipper. The 36-year-old will feature as a batsman for Mumbai this year.
