Harsha Bhogle- A Global Indian Icon

A river keeps flowing with fresh water,irrespective of the obstructions.


Harsha Bhogle is easily one of the most iconic figures Indian youth 
looks upto.He has defined passion and interest with a blend of 
professionalism in a country marred with politics and religion.

Harsha a graduate from IIM's rose above corporate blue collor 
jobs in multinational companies to follow his passion.
He is easily one of the most unrated,iconic,rolemodels 
Indian youth feels to emulate.


His simple demeaneor with a class,makes him miles above the rest.
His professionalism that he brought to the work made him the 
only Indian to be on a foreign channel commentating on Indian cricket.

His commentatory makes him a world class Global Indian  much on 
power with Amitabh's and Dhoni's.

The recent events of Harsha Bhogle's contract been cancelled by the 
BCCI has been very disapointing and reminded of the times of licence 
raj system when everyone needed to bow before the powerful 
irrespective of talent.


I am sure he will know better,but as a fan of Harsha ,I think he should
look this as an opportunity to commentate for maybe an English premier
league or Spanish premier league or La liga championships.
Maybe an Indian might make it to a international football league in this century itself.


Some of  Harsha's Best:

After Sachin Tendulkar played a trademark, glorious drive off Ishant Sharma in the IPL


Harsha Bhogle: "Open the textbook, turn to page 32!"


During the tri-series involving India, Australia and England in 2015, Harsha took a clever jibe at Sourav Ganguly


Sourav Ganguly: "To be honest, I really enjoy hearing you talk about the game Harsha. So much passion, so much in touch with the game. You've been around for a while though."


Harsha Bhogle: "But i never took my shirt off."


After multiple reprieves for Virender Sehwag in New Zealand


Harsha Bhogle"It's that kind of a day. Sehwag can walk blindfolded across a busy highway today and not get run over."

On Rajat Bhatia's gentle bowling:


Harsha Bhogle: "Any bowler has three pace variations - fast, medium and slow. But Rajat Bhatia has slow , slower and slowest."


Harsha Bhogle displays his quick wit once again to Nasser Hussain


Nasser Hussain: "When can I see India playing in a football World Cup?" (this was during 2014 FIFA World Cup)


Harsha Bhogle : "It's better not to participate rather than getting knocked out in the first round."
