During a recent interview, Sidhu reminisced about his childhood routines that unknowingly prepared him for the fast-paced world of cricket commentary. He emphasized that commentary should be engaging and conversational, akin to a casual chat between friends in the comfort of a bedroom.
Navjot Singh Sidhu also weighed in on the legendary career of MS Dhoni, referring to the former Indian captain’s playing longevity as nothing short of miraculous. Additionally, he praised Rohit Sharma for his strategic acumen and highlighted how the newly-appointed Mumbai Indians skipper, Hardik Pandya, could benefit from Sharma’s mentorship.
