Razor-sharp, witty, humorous and memorable, Harsha Bhogle is among few non-cricketer commentators, who clearly stand out. His commentary has made listening and watching cricket fun and a delightful activity. Harsha has also dabbled in writing and his book "The Winning Way: Learnings From Sport Managers" is an interesting take on what do sporting champions do, what makes winning teams, who is a good leader, why do only some teams keep winning while others win only for a while and then lose…
Here are few gems from his commentary that make you smile and laugh.
