Bhogle has enjoyed the love and admiration of the masses through thick and thin, with massive social media backing resulting in a comeback to the commentator’s box following an infamous controversy. However, the legendary commentator has never indicated even a hint of arrogance as evident from his humble statement: I am a kid who played university cricket, so to be around international cricket is a blessing.
The man is certainly a massive source of inspiration for us all.
