Sizzling take of Navjot Sidhu on Hardik captaincy appointment at MI
Former cricketer of team India, Navjot Singh Sidhu, will make his return to the commentary box after a decade in the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League. Eager to take to commentary like fish to water, Sidhu revealed he was paid handsomely in his previous IPL stint. The former opener of Team India said that he was taking home INR 25 lakh per day during the IPL. For Sidhu, cricket has always been his first love. Known for his witty one-liners, Sidhu observed that the IPL 2024 will set the tone for the ICC World Cup.
Speaking to a news agency, Sidhu branded Kohli as the greatest Indian batter. Sidhu said, “They will be needed there. These are the giants of the cricketing world. Form is like the morning dew; it can elude you, but the class of these people has a stamp of authority. I would rate Kohli as the greatest Indian batsman for the simple reason of his fitness; he is getting fitter with age like old wine does. Technically, he is very sound, and he has the uncanny knack of adapting to all three formats. The same goes for Rohit.”
However, Sidhu expressed his reservations about the fitness of Rohit. While continuing his statement, Sidhu said, “Both are quality players. I am not sure about Rohit’s fitness level. With age, you tend to slow down; your reflexes tend to go. Sehwag with those glasses; his reflexes were not the same; I saw it in the IPL."
