Think
cricket commentary at the highest level and chances are you will think of
Harsha Bhogle. The 59 year old has been synonymous with
cricket commentary for a long time and is the only non former international cricketer commentator in the ‘elite panel’ of cricket commentators.
The guests on episode 3 of the new TOI podcast, Sportscast were two veteran broadcast professionals – Harsha Bhogle and
Joy Bhattacharjya. They talked about multiple different facets of cricket broadcast and Harsha opened up about how cricket broadcast changed his life.
“What it has done is that it has given a very shy, very uncertain, someone who wasn’t very sure of himself, someone with low self esteem, it has taken someone like that and given him a life, a career and a place in this sport that he could not have imagined. He was asked to write a script, he would have written about a quarter of the script that life has allowed. It’s a life full of gratitude for the sport. I just love this sport. I am a pilgrim, I am a believer in the sport. This sport has taken me to places I could not have imagined it would take me. So, from that point of view – yes, cricket has given me everything and I hope it doesn’t change.”
Harsha began doing cricket commentary from the time he was 19, while he lived in Hyderabad, for All India Radio.
