Let’s discuss some of our beloved commentators now.
Wasim Akram
Wasim Akram is now winning the hearts of cricket fans from the commentary box. His cricketing career was full of thrill, but his appearances in the commentary box have been entertaining fans for years. The guy is fun, you have to admit.
Waqar Younis
Waqar’s pace might have scared a lot of batters, but his cool and calm commentary is the complete opposite of his gameplay. Waqar has a deep understanding of the game and has worked in all positions from player to team management. Hence, his analysis from the commentary box is always valuable.
Ravi Shastri
Shastri is a party guy. You may get a different idea when you see him coaching the Indian Cricket team, but Ravi is something else during match presentations and commentary. The joy and excitement he brings is great.
Russel Arnold
Russel has been doing commentary in the Sri Lankan games for ages now. Who doesn’t remember him commentating during test matches when Rangana Herath would be torturing the batsmen? Is he a lucky charm for Sri Lanka or what?
Athar Ali Khan
The commentator from the land of Bangladesh, most people may hate him for his one-sided commentary during Bangladesh matches. But you can’t blame a guy for getting excited about his home team winning!
