His journey as a commentator in IPL
Navjot Singh Siddhu’s journey as a commentator began during the 2001 bilateral series against India and Sri Lanka. He quickly gained popularity for his unique style and one-liners. He became the face of Indian commentary.
In less time, he became the most-loved figure in the cricketing world. After mesmerizing the audience with his commentary and witty lines, Siddhu took a break from comedy and jumped into politics in 2004. He joined the BJP and contested the election from the Amristar constituency.
He won twice from this constituency and held his position from 2004 to 2014, during which he had to take a temporary backseat during his political journey. However, to fulfil the desires of cricket fans, he is now ready to return to the commentary box to entertain us
Lok Sabha election effect on IPL schedule
As we know, the 17th season of the IPL is going to start on March 22, but BCCI has only announced the schedule for the first 17 matches and has yet to announce the schedule for later matches of the IPL. BCCI had to do it because there will be a Lok Sabha election in India.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) announced that the elections will start on April 19 in seven phases. That’s why BCCI has to wait to adjust IPL matches for the elections. So IPL fans, get ready on March 22 to support your favourite IPL team while enjoying cricket with the humour of our new commentator, Navjot Singh Siddhu.
