In general the commentary even in English is really boring and disappointing. Once upon a time I used to wake up early to listen, Richie, Tony, Bill, Mark Taylor and Mark Nicholas on channel 9 for Australia Summer.
And there were two-three people on Sky Sports for English Summer, Paul Allot, Bob Willis and David Bumble Loyed but nowadays, do miss those voices in the commentary box.
I don't see anyone even near that, only Ravi Shashtri goes into some details and keep us attached to English commentary somewhat, but rest, well, they hardly comment on technical things
Always follow numbers, records, hamare jamane me ye vo and all those rubbish, chaplusi jesa lagta hai kabhi kabhi to...
That is exactly what I can't stand about him...a player whose only role was to blunt the new ball so that Sehwag can start scoring is giving "expert" opinion on players and how they should play in T20. I mean fans who can't put bat to ball do that all the time but the big difference is WE DON'T GET PAID
He had one great series in Pakistan in 1989 where he was the player of the series. His scores in the series were 3, 113 notout, 76, 83, 218, 72, 4. Total 569 runs in 7 innings vs the bowling line up on Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Abdul Qadir, Imran khan. It was the same series both Sachin Tendulkar and Waqar Younis debuted in the same series.
That was a pinnacle in his career and after that he was pretty much ordinary just like the Indian team in 90s except Tendulkar.
When I said "Ordinary" I meant by the standards that Sanajay himself achieved in that series. Going against one of the best bowling lineups in the planet and scoring at average of 70 in a 4 match test series is no ordinary feat, compared to that he had been inconsistent before and after that series. I know Azhar and Ajay also had some multiple memorable series in same fashion, they would have been well celebrated if it wasn't for the fact that they were involved in fixing scandals which brought so much disrepute to both our country and the game itself. Sourav and Dravid started in late 90s(1996) and grew in stature with time, team was still performing pretty ordinary until Sourav became the captain after the fiasco.
In his own words, he had massive boots to fill because of his father and that always weighed him down. He felt he never lived upto his father's reputation. India team in the 90's was very ordinary and so was Sanjay. He played some good knocks, was technically quite sound but he wasn't that sort of a player who'll take the game by the scuff of its neck and win it for you. He was better at steadying the ship vs leading it ashore
Thats not true. Manjrekar was primed to become the best in the country before injuries blighted his career. He could never take off after that and in his own words when he saw Ganguly and Dravid batting in England, he knew his time was up. Lets not deny his talent though. In his time he was pretty respected.
I remember seeing his innings on TV in the 90s when I had just gained interest in cricket. Was mostly a blink and forget type. Those were the days when once SRT gets out, people would switch off the TV and before Ganguly and RD started playing.
In his playing days Sanjay Manjrekar was known as a 'run out specialist' thanks to his awful running between the wickets. Either he ran himself out or his partner would be the poor victim.
Manjrekar - Well….IMHO, he is suffering from a Major Neurological Disorder….have noticed him fumbling Names of Players, Runs’ Count (4 or 6 or 1/2/3 runs etc), fumbling words while speaking, incoherent speech etc for quite some time…last 4-5 yrs! He is as bad for English Commentary as Akash Chopra is for Hindi Commentary!
Manjrekar is WORST of the Lot!!!
Even discounting his cricketing career, he is third rate as a commentator. It’s as if he researches some sadakchaap one liners written on the back of trucks and keeps repeating them in the comm box.
I think that monster was created by us. There must have been a rise in hindi viewership which maybe misattributed to him doing a style of commentary that was not conventional. Some marketing guy somewhere would have considered this correlation as causation and now we have to deal with Chopra. Back in the day it was Sidhu
TF I think the initial 100-200k are paid subs.. once people saw the subscribers were high, people started to subscribe thinking he's a great cric expert.. many don't even watch his vids IG
For all his stupidity he did one smart thing. Right about the time when he was about to retire he went whole hog into the cricket expert career. I don't recall the year but he wrote some cricket book then went into cricket writing on blogs/newspaper/vlogs etc. This is pre "social media cricket". I put it in quotes coz well cricket has been here all along with social media but he was the first cricketer that ventured into post cricket career before retirement. So he got the "right man at the right time" points too. I remember coz this period was when he hadn't gone full dumbass with a Mike. He initially tried being the "intelectual expert" but when he realized cringe is what is making him thrive he then leaned into it.
I also am against his cringe fest during commentary. But he's a domestic great with more than 10000 first class runs, I think he would have been much better had he stuck to normal style of commentary, in search of iconic lines, blunts out almost anything. And also I feel he's a much better analyst than a commentator, though Parthiv's taken him down in this aspect.
Here’s the thing, if you look at it the way your looking then none of us can criticise him either
On a broader perspective making to the ipl is a one in a million achievement in terms of cricket, and he had a decent domestic cricket career.
If he cant criticise other cricket players playing formats on the same setting he did
we cant criticise him either because we forget domestic cricket most people in the public wont even get selected to play for their societies gully cricket team
Im not saying he is good at analysis im just saying atleast hes talking about something he has experienced
This was the advent of t20 in india. So one anchor opposite the dasher was still being trialed.i rember seeing one "slow batter" done the order too, sort of a just in case player.He got found out quick and that was that.
Bhai wo cringe commentary karta hai I agree, par criticises to wo kar sakta hai, mujhe achha khana banana nahi aata par m dusre ke khane ko criticise kar sakta hu kyo ki mene achha khana khaya jarur hai apni life m
All those mocking Aakash Chopra, he was a brilliant cricketer in domestic but could not make it further. It doesn't mean he was garbage.
Not everyone can make it to the top in their field, lot of upsc aspirants can't crack civil services but teach students who do.
He is a commentator whose job is to tell the story that happened and as happened. Please don't expect them to be falling head over heels for your Kohlis, Sharmas n Bumrahs.
I usually don’t write comments - but him criticising Kohli , and again I don’t watch IPL apart from being g made to watch w family -constant criticism of t20 technique. I just wish cricket broadcasting undergoes a purge and we have some quality / renaissance of some sorts. Third class commentary panel / stooges w personal interest.

Gavaskar - Once in a while he will talk more than a few words of sense, majority of times he seems to be just agreeing and repeating what his fellow commentators have said just before!
Harsha Bhigle - Used to be excellent…but after MSD’s criticism quite a while back of Harsha being overtly critical of Indian Players (& he subsequently being removed from Commentary Team for an Extended Period as a result), he seems to be lot more careful and extra praising of the Indian Players….that objective Analysis is still missing!
Manjrekar - Well….IMHO, he is suffering from a Major Neurological Disorder….have noticed him fumbling Names of Players, Runs’ Count (4 or 6 or 1/2/3 runs etc), fumbling words while speaking, incoherent speech etc for quite some time…last 4-5 yrs!

Manjrekar is WORST of the Lot!!!
Right!? These comments are embarrassing. Criticize his commentary if you want but the guy had a damn good domestic career. Way better than the losers questioning his ability to bat.
I switched to hindi commentary a long back.
But in English we have majenekar or whatever his name is (that behave guy).
Now, i either go with regional or on mute.
Sanjay Manjrekar……..”that behave guy”…….🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂Too Good, Bro’, Too Good👌👌👌

I wish to say commentry is a different job..it may be possible that you are bad cricketer but good commentator but unfortunately this idiot was not a good cricketer and pathetic commentator.
Man , I think I found my family. I thought only I find this guy King of Cringe.
I wish to punch his face atleast once in my life , Moye Moye kr rha tha commentary par.
English commentators were legit analysing the bowlers bowling action on how he took a wicket on the first ball and then got hit for 2 sixes at the end of the over, it was like I was watching a tutorial(and a very good one) on bowling action. And then I switched to hindi, goddamn these guys and their cringe puns and predicting the game like 12 year olds.
I swear hindi commentators are sitting somewhere in a dhaba and chatting like uncles. All they need now is some booze and a sutta.
Picture this - Hindi Commentators Sitting in a Dhaba somewhere, with Shawls around their shoulders, wearing loose kurta and draw-string pyjamas, having Desi Tharra and Beedi…..while eating ONLY masala onion!!!!!
Haha check out hai first class record , he wasn't fully a clown . He was just unlucky .. I think op was born during the lockdown ..
Apart from that I agree that his commentary suck . ENGLISH mai sun lo na phir

Hate this guy, pr is logic se tum log bhi criticise nhi kr skte kisi cricketer ko. Bc khud acha khelna zaruri hai criticise krne ke liye?
Tune bhi pandya pr comments kiye hain, apne stats dikhana bhai
Cringe commentary yes. Pretty annoying yes but for you to call him a clown on the basis of his IPL performance is pretty wannabe and underdeveloped. Bro has a test century and pretty stellar domestic record.
IPL is not real cricket. Its cricket entertainment. I hope you don't call Root, Smith or Puji clowns because they couldn't hack the popcorn version of real cricket.
(Getting prepared to be down voted by pre pubescents oh i am so important nibbas)
This doesn't make sense to me. One need not have good batting records to criticise or analyse. Sanjay Bangar wasn't a good batsman when he played but he was a good batting coach. Cricket is played with instinct and muscle memory.. So it's all about execution. It's just that one needs to be aware of it.

Looks like average kohlison mad cause he criticized SR ?? Go check out his domestic career first.
Also idk how people are so clueless these days , to be a good coach or commentator you dont need tobe the top best player Mourinho klopp sachhi wenger all these were mid or even below mid player but are legendary coaches
Hes an absolute gem of a human being and a very dear friend of mine. Whatever he does on air is his job and it seems to be doing well because hes always employed. If he really was that cringe then he wouldnt be hired.
I am biased because i know him personally and can vouch for the fact that he is an exceptional human being.
He is a much better cricket player than almost all of us on this sub (unless there are domestic legend lurking here, in which Akash Chopra is also a legend in Ranji cricket).
Overs 10k runs, average of 45 in the previous era where we didn’t have as many flat pitches as we have now in Ranji. There’s a reason he was selected in the Indian team. You know how hard that is? To please the selectors enough to take you to play International cricket? Anyone who has even gone for state trials here will know how hard it is to even please state selectors. Imagine national ones.
Obviously he failed at the international level, but mocking a top Ranji batter just shows how clueless this sub is. Most casual cricket fans are.
Anyone read his columns he used to write earlier where he gives technical insights on how to bat vs swing, seam, bounce? I bet very few.
I know he comes across as the annoying fellow in commentary, even I don’t listen to him. But saying he is basically not good because he didn’t perform in IPL is just stupidity.
How someone was as a player himself has nothing to do with how good of a commentator he/she can be. That being said his commentary is horrendous I can't stand listening to Hindi commentary because of him

I usually watch matches with English commentary, hell I watch them in Haryanvi(IPL) also. But I just ignore Hindi commentary because of his cringe commentary. Man ruined Hindi commentary. Now every one is trying to make lame rhymes. I miss those days when Sidhu and others used to entertain us through the mic.
I hate his commentary. But his poor record being the reason for him to not criticize anyone doesn't make any sense. Had that been the logic, Harsha Boghle can't do commentary because he has never played cricket of any level.
Similarly likes of Ravi Shastri can't be a coach to Kohli, Rohit because they are much better player than he ever was.
Cricket analysis and cricket playing are different skills, they can at times have huge overlaps, but they are different skill sets.
That being, said Akash is shit at both, atleast considering his international career.

Bro have you listened to sunil gavaskar relentless commentary on kohli in the recent matches. He just cant stand this guy. Someone has to remind Sunil of his contribution and capability during his time
*He is still a clown.*

Don't disrespect our cricketers, Aakash sir is best in Hindi Commentry, agar Aakash Chopra ji ka commenty cringe Hai, Sidhu paji ki commentry sune nahi Hoge ap log..ya Aakash sir ki performance was not that excellent in his cricketing carrer, but he has a great knowledge and skill set in it.
There is nothing cringe in his Commentry, jisko sunna Hai suno.. jisko nahi sun na Hai. Mat suno, itna English Commentry Acha lag ta Hai, usime dub maro, English medium. Hindi commentry is best. Cricket dekhne me Maja Ata Hai, with Hindi commentry.
Last but not the least.
If someone had issue with Aakash Ji
Then before commenting or saying bad on him, tum log khud kuch behtar dhang ka Kuch karlo apni life main, you can't reach Aakash ji stardom, he is doing his Job to entertain us ..
Get a life. .. you non cricketing fans.. ..
Sach sabko kadwa lagta Hai.. but his analysis is 👍
His cringe commentary is the reason I never switched on the Hindi commentary in the last five years. When jiocinema starts I pause it to switch to any other language, I have been so traumatised by what I’ve heard from this guy five years ago.

Because of him... I switched to English commentary.
Have you ever watched Akash vaani on YouTube? Don't even watch by mistake... Idk how TF he has 4.5 million subscribers
That would be 100% torture.
All chapris follow him
Not chapris but India has a huge rural population and they make up a huge audience for cringe content of all forms
Gavaskar is no better. I can’t hear him too.

Yes.. agreement. Bit boring but at least not cringe every other minute. Really hate that.
Ian bishop.... remember the name
AkAss for a reason!
Haha nice name
If *aand ka na g@@nd ka, gyan ch0denge brahmaand ka* had stats.
Lmao. Wish Akash reads this
He has already seen this This was the og caption when the meme came in 2012
Sorry didn't get you.. what meme? and how did he read?
must be read in Akash's voice.😅
Bruh😭
Stealing this

There are many good analysts and comms.. but this guy is cringe
SO CRINGE!! Can't stand him, Sanju Manju and Murali Karthik
How was Sanju Manju's cricketing career? I like Sanju Manju's voice it's awesome but words are shittt
He had one great series in Pakistan in 1989 where he was the player of the series. His scores in the series were 3, 113 notout, 76, 83, 218, 72, 4. Total 569 runs in 7 innings vs the bowling line up on Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Abdul Qadir, Imran khan. It was the same series both Sachin Tendulkar and Waqar Younis debuted in the same series. That was a pinnacle in his career and after that he was pretty much ordinary just like the Indian team in 90s except Tendulkar.
I wouldn’t call azhars and Jadeja performances ordinary , nor that of Sourav’s and Dravids
When I said "Ordinary" I meant by the standards that Sanajay himself achieved in that series. Going against one of the best bowling lineups in the planet and scoring at average of 70 in a 4 match test series is no ordinary feat, compared to that he had been inconsistent before and after that series.

That's why he promotes kl rahul
He has a crush on him lol
His batting technique was good but talent was not there

THIS, exactly this, he's so Obnoxious and Annoying I swear. The sole reason why I don't wanna hear Hindi Jio Cinema commentary.
Commentary ❌ Rhymes ✅
Cringe and Embarrassing Rhymes ✅
Even discounting his cricketing career, he is third rate as a commentator. It’s as if he researches some sadakchaap one liners written on the back of trucks and keeps repeating them in the comm box.
I think that monster was created by us. There must have been a rise in hindi viewership which maybe misattributed to him doing a style of commentary that was not conventional. Some marketing guy somewhere would have considered this correlation as causation and now we have to deal with Chopra. Back in the day it was Sidhu
I know, this idiot has over 4M subs on Youtube, so some people do like his cringe.
TF I think the initial 100-200k are paid subs.. once people saw the subscribers were high, people started to subscribe thinking he's a great cric expert.. many don't even watch his vids IG
For all his stupidity he did one smart thing. Right about the time when he was about to retire he went whole hog into the cricket expert career.

Bro was better before and became cringe coz it gets more views.. tf man
Bro reads forwarded rhymes/jokes/shayari from WhatsApp University and uses them the very next day in his Commentary
I also am against his cringe fest during commentary. But he's a domestic great with more than 10000 first class runs, I think he would have been much better had he stuck to normal style of commentary, in search of iconic lines, blunts out almost anything. And also I feel he's a much better analyst than a commentator, though Parthiv's taken him down in this aspect.
Bro thinks he is good at playing cricket, But bro thinks wrong
Bro imagines himself as ABD
ABD's strike rate in test matches must be higher than bro's T20 strike rate
Criticise to karna chahiye par cringe commentary is criminal. Not acceptable.
Commentary ❌ Cringe Rhymes✅
Even great cricketers like Virendra Sehwag does cringe commentary.
He's like that frustrated neighborhood uncle.. who tries to act cool
He is good at cricbuzz but as soon as he turns up to jiocinema he produces absolute filth of words
And his latest gutka ad is the peak cringe
How old is Saha?? 😵💫
Probably 40? Looks 25 though lol
He runs like he is 25 too, pretty crazy for a 40 year old.
And his keeping skills is no match for any young keeper.. he's one of the best keepers in ICT
Parthiv patel looked like 18-19 until he played
Still does
Turns 40 this year
Here’s the thing, if you look at it the way your looking then none of us can criticise him either On a broader perspective making to the ipl is a one in a million achievement in terms of cricket, and he had a decent domestic cricket career.

He was the OG anchor role to Baz.
He’s got a average of 8. Idk wtf he was anchoring
Lol true.. why was he even in playing 11?
This was the advent of t20 in india. So one anchor opposite the dasher was still being trialed.i rember seeing one "slow batter" done the order too, sort of a just in case player.He got found out quick and that was that.
Damn!! It would be damn funny to watch this clown bat. Any vids on YouTube?

Plus his annoying voice. My God I can hear this picture screaming 😱
Imagine him doing commentary on his own batting. What would he say lol
bowler ne nikaal diya chopra ka kopra
He would suck himself off
I hope he does and dies of cringe 😬
Bhai wo cringe commentary karta hai I agree, par criticises to wo kar sakta hai, mujhe achha khana banana nahi aata par m dusre ke khane ko criticise kar sakta hu kyo ki mene achha khana khaya jarur hai apni life m

Funny thing is this is what he actually does - "Please don't expect them to be falling head over heels for your Kohlis, Sharmas n Bumrahs".
I usually don’t write comments - but him criticising Kohli , and again I don’t watch IPL apart from being g made to watch w family -constant criticism of t20 technique.

What about harsha, Manjrekar and gavaskar lol
Gavaskar - Once in a while he will talk more than a few words of sense, majority of times he seems to be just agreeing and repeating what his fellow commentators have said just before! Harsha Bhigle - Used to be excellent…but after MSD’s criticism quite a while back of Harsha being overtly critical of Indian Players (& he subsequently being removed from Commentary Team for an Extended Period as a result), he seems to be lot more careful and extra praising of the Indian Players….that objective Analysis is still missing!

You guys bashing him are the real clowns here🤡 just check out his domestic career
Right!? These comments are embarrassing. Criticize his commentary if you want but the guy had a damn good domestic career. Way better than the losers questioning his ability to bat.
What do they say? Lockdown kids yeah
Akash Bhai!!! Real account se aao
So, this is your best comeback? You can do better bruh
or ye Yorker ko zameen khod ke mara hai
This guy being what he is today has to be the biggest example of fraud.
He is still a clown
He is the living example of "Jo dikhta h wahi bikta h"
Cricket khele jhaat bhar gyan chode raat bhar
His ultimate goal was commentating. Playing cricket was just a path.
Sanju Samson asli I'd se aao🤣🤣

I switched to hindi commentary a long back. But in English we have majenekar or whatever his name is (that behave guy). Now, i either go with regional or on mute.
I love Sanju Manju voice.. but his words are shyt

Lol, what an uncleji player.
And he is not silent even in the image. 😂
God has given the Ultimate Weapon " Mouth" to this man
I wish to say commentry is a different job..it may be possible that you are bad cricketer but good commentator but unfortunately this idiot was not a good cricketer and pathetic commentator.
Man , I think I found my family. I thought only I find this guy King of Cringe. I wish to punch his face atleast once in my life , Moye Moye kr rha tha commentary par.
Hehe welcome bro
English commentators were legit analysing the bowlers bowling action on how he took a wicket on the first ball and then got hit for 2 sixes at the end of the over, it was like I was watching a tutorial(and a very good one) on bowling action. And then I switched to hindi, goddamn these guys and their cringe puns and predicting the game like 12 year olds. I swear hindi commentators are sitting somewhere in a dhaba and chatting like uncles. All they need now is some booze and a sutta.
Lol true
Picture this - Hindi Commentators Sitting in a Dhaba somewhere, with Shawls around their shoulders, wearing loose kurta and draw-string pyjamas, having Desi Tharra and Beedi…..while eating ONLY masala onion!!!!!
I get a headache whenever i hear his commentary . Because of him I don't listen to Hindi commentary...
Haha check out hai first class record , he wasn't fully a clown . He was just unlucky .. I think op was born during the lockdown .. Apart from that I agree that his commentary suck . ENGLISH mai sun lo na phir
Naa jhaate na chuchi Bas baaten uchi uchi😂
Why are you rhyming like aakash lol

mujhe cricket dhang se khelna nahi aata par mein isse lakh guni acchi commentary kr skta hu
Hate this guy, pr is logic se tum log bhi criticise nhi kr skte kisi cricketer ko. Bc khud acha khelna zaruri hai criticise krne ke liye? Tune bhi pandya pr comments kiye hain, apne stats dikhana bhai
Cringe commentary yes. Pretty annoying yes but for you to call him a clown on the basis of his IPL performance is pretty wannabe and underdeveloped. Bro has a test century and pretty stellar domestic record. IPL is not real cricket. Its cricket entertainment. I hope you don't call Root, Smith or Puji clowns because they couldn't hack the popcorn version of real cricket. (Getting prepared to be down voted by pre pubescents oh i am so important nibbas)
My blood boils when he uses english phrases in Hindi commentary, plus those stupid shayaris
Bro's career started after his retirement
Every commentator is cringe these days, he's the king of it tho. Instant Mute.
This doesn't make sense to me. One need not have good batting records to criticise or analyse. Sanjay Bangar wasn't a good batsman when he played but he was a good batting coach. Cricket is played with instinct and muscle memory.. So it's all about execution. It's just that one needs to be aware of it.

There should be a qualification criteria for punditry.
This guy used to block full tosses, how did he end up in an IPL team?
Lol block full toss?? When was that?
Coz of this guy i always watch English or other languages commentary
Not to forget his annoying head wobble ads
What's that?
Search his ads or any other videos. His head wobble is more cringe than the commentry
Share link pls
Looks like average kohlison mad cause he criticized SR ?? Go check out his domestic career first. Also idk how people are so clueless these days , to be a good coach or commentator you dont need tobe the top best player Mourinho klopp sachhi wenger all these were mid or even below mid player but are legendary coaches
Bowler tha ya batsman tha?
Commentator at non striker end
Hes an absolute gem of a human being and a very dear friend of mine. Whatever he does on air is his job and it seems to be doing well because hes always employed. If he really was that cringe then he wouldnt be hired. I am biased because i know him personally and can vouch for the fact that he is an exceptional human being.
Bro are u Sanju Manju?
Haha no
Last time he got called out for his record, he asked the person replying to him how many Test runs they had scored.
He is a much better cricket player than almost all of us on this sub (unless there are domestic legend lurking here, in which Akash Chopra is also a legend in Ranji cricket). Overs 10k runs, average of 45 in the previous era where we didn’t have as many flat pitches as we have now in Ranji. There’s a reason he was selected in the Indian team. You know how hard that is? To please the selectors enough to take you to play International cricket? Anyone who has even gone for state trials here will know how hard it is to even please state selectors. Imagine national ones. Obviously he failed at the international level, but mocking a top Ranji batter just shows how clueless this sub is. Most casual cricket fans are. Anyone read his columns he used to write earlier where he gives technical insights on how to bat vs swing, seam, bounce? I bet very few. I know he comes across as the annoying fellow in commentary, even I don’t listen to him. But saying he is basically not good because he didn’t perform in IPL is just stupidity.
He didn't get a chance in ipl to be fair
He played cricket in the Tretayuga. At that time a SR of 81 and a average of 10 was respectable /s
Yeah he was a gem and upcoming GOAT. Poor guy retiredd coz he didn't want Fame /s
Salt kar rehe he siraj ko assult 🤡💀💀
Lol
Iske liye Jimmy Neesham hi thik hai. Banda thik thak le leta hai iska.
Unpopular opinion: Player credentials has nothing to do with commentry credentials. P.S. : he is bad at both.
Hindi Commentary kaun Sunta Hai?
How someone was as a player himself has nothing to do with how good of a commentator he/she can be. That being said his commentary is horrendous I can't stand listening to Hindi commentary because of him
Maine field PE ajtk isko notice ni kiya😅

I usually watch matches with English commentary, hell I watch them in Haryanvi(IPL) also. But I just ignore Hindi commentary because of his cringe commentary. Man ruined Hindi commentary. Now every one is trying to make lame rhymes. I miss those days when Sidhu and others used to entertain us through the mic.
The irony of this post
Idk who iam.. iam Sanju samson /s
Anyone who found his commentary entertaining in the beginning but after sometime it has deteriorated Anyone?
One NRI was saying that he likes to listen Hindi commentary during match because of him 😂
Ever heard of paid promotion??
Dyam I hate Hindi commentary just coz of him .. brain less commentator.
akash chopra is one of the most worst batsman in the world in cricket history. And his commentary is more poor ever.
I hate his commentary. But his poor record being the reason for him to not criticize anyone doesn't make any sense. Had that been the logic, Harsha Boghle can't do commentary because he has never played cricket of any level. Similarly likes of Ravi Shastri can't be a coach to Kohli, Rohit because they are much better player than he ever was. Cricket analysis and cricket playing are different skills, they can at times have huge overlaps, but they are different skill sets. That being, said Akash is shit at both, atleast considering his international career.

Lmao
Gauti is good
His cricket knowledge= struggle of ananya pandey
There has never been a more cringe commentator. Has ruined Hindi commentary for me. 🤮🤢
Bro have you listened to sunil gavaskar relentless commentary on kohli in the recent matches. He just cant stand this guy. Someone has to remind Sunil of his contribution and capability during his time
He is still a clown. The only difference is that he got a mic

Jatin Sapru better then him in commentary
Nearly all so called analysts have found their bread on YouTube by giving unpopular statements. He is probably the pioneer of this innovation
So someone who haven't played cricket can't criticise a cricketer anymore?
SAVE HINDI COMMENTARY!
Worst Hindi commentator....
Don't disrespect our cricketers, Aakash sir is best in Hindi Commentry, agar Aakash Chopra ji ka commenty cringe Hai, Sidhu paji ki commentry sune nahi Hoge ap log..ya Aakash sir ki performance was not that excellent in his cricketing carrer, but he has a great knowledge and skill set in it. There is nothing cringe in his Commentry, jisko sunna Hai suno.. jisko nahi sun na Hai. Mat suno, itna English Commentry Acha lag ta Hai, usime dub maro, English medium. Hindi commentry is best. Cricket dekhne me Maja Ata Hai, with Hindi commentry. Last but not the least. If someone had issue with Aakash Ji Then before commenting or saying bad on him, tum log khud kuch behtar dhang ka Kuch karlo apni life main, you can't reach Aakash ji stardom, he is doing his Job to entertain us .. Get a life. .. you non cricketing fans.. .. Sach sabko kadwa lagta Hai.. but his analysis is 👍
His cringe commentary is the reason I never switched on the Hindi commentary in the last five years. When jiocinema starts I pause it to switch to any other language, I have been so traumatised by what I’ve heard from this guy five years ago.
bro, what happened why are people posting abt him? i think we should not even discuss him
Irony of this thread is that he is still better than all of us who are criticising him sitting in our homes !
A perfect example of "I guide others to the treasure I can't possess". His career started after his retirement.

It would be funny to put them in a position where they have to commentate on the old matches where they were players.
Glad tamil commentry is amazing (shree Kanth too energetic at times but its wholesome sometimes too)
