If theres one person who needs to have a podcast, its this man. Imagine the Harsha Bhogle in conversation with the legends of the game. Who knows we might even see MS on a podcast!
@1:26 - your opinion on impact sub rule? @5:02 - what keeps you motivated in spite of being in commentary for so many decades? @6:46 - at any time across your career, have you ever felt cricket to be overwhelming? @8:37 - how do you balance between being a fan and a broadcaster? @13:33 - do you think Rohit and Virat is the best opening combination for T20 world cup? @14:44 - what do you feel wrong with RCB?
13:02 Oh, dear Harsha, hope you will be there in broadcasting for another 10-20 years...Or you can pick and choose events and do like 2-3 events every year. Maybe skipping IPL but being there for test crickets, especially the away tours...
Mr Bhogle, you are meant for podcasting sir. You not having a podcast is really doing disservice to the great voice and the skill you have. Mission ISRO was sheer joy. But I’m sure everyone would like to hear your way with words. Your episode with Gaurav or with the Grade Cricketer are some of my favorite podcast episodes of all time, I hope we get to hear more of it.
Thankyou for taking my question! This was such a fanboy moment for me. Your idol taking your name and answering your question. Can't get any better than that!
Priyanshu bro! I want to ask you something. *Did you just post your question in the comments of Harsha's videos or is there a specific platform to ask them.* ❤
Great insight as always Harsha Sir, loved having a conversation together on a video call for Akhada and now seeing you own a youtube channel was a long awaited step.
Wow! Much awaited YT channel. As Sidhu says, cricket guru Harsha is in YT. So excited! My query to you Harsha, how you managed to keep you updated and moved on with all changes our beautiful game brought in last 2 decades
Thank you for taking up my question first, Harsha. What is the IPL's main agenda? The IPL in my view has to primarily serve & take Indian cricket ahead. Yes, it has helped Indian cricketers over it's 17 years. The entertainment factor is an agenda sure but not at the expense of Indian cricket and the Indian cricket team. Thus, if a rule like an Impact Sub is hurting one section of Indian cricketers (likes of Washy, Dube, Deepak Chahar etc.), it must be rolled back.
always a big fan of your questions puskar. love the way you stitch up words and articulate. you have great vocabulary better than Harsha. keep your questions coming. wonderful to see how you decide to use certain words to elevate the tone when needed
@@melrngi yes. I have seen pushkar from young age. when he was 9 years old, Harsha himself congratulated him saying he will beat him for sure in future and presented him his favourite commentator mike. in 2017, Harsha mentioned this in one of India's memorable test series. Pushjar has got Wisden's Harsha competitor of the year award too
Wow, I love this. He is so humble and down to earth. And how grateful Harsha is having the chance to do this. We are so lucky to have him as a commentator/analyst
Amazing Q&A, I remember once the cricket blogs which Shri Bhogle used to duting 2012-2014. Not to forget the amazing videos of Castrol Active Champions which he used to do. I have a question for you Shri Bhogle : how do you know you see Indian cricket in the next 5 years, post Rohit era?
Which is tougher to survive....a first day green top pitch under cloud cover with Duke's bowl.....or 5th day turning pitch with Kookuburra or SG ball?? Hope this ques. will come in part 2
One positive of the impact player that is not being addressed - Teams have started playing fearlessly because of the extra cushion . Playing fearless cricket has been one of the factors that Indian team has not achieved success in ICC tournaments . The mindset of the current genartkon is changing and they have started being fearless . This is a positive of impact subs
Harsha. With respect to the impact sub rule maybe one could element of more deeper research by teams by making it applicable only in 50% matches they play at league stage. Choice rests with team to use it whenever. Not applicable in playoff
I have a left field thought here... What your view on two balls available for the fielding side? One newish and one rough. The fielding side picks which ball for which over.
Question for Part 2 Harshaji - who is the next bumrah of Indian cricket? Is it Mayank Yadav or is it just too early to based on a few IPL performances? What is BCCI's long term plan for an intelligent fast bowler?
4:23 For every evolution or change that has happened to cricket (and there has been many), there was a counter balancing force from within the game. Impact sub rule is currently benefitting batters because more batters equal more runs, but more bowlers doesn't always equal more wickets. But I believe, in the coming seasons, the bowlers will adapt and teams will figure out how to use their bowling resources better. Rajasthan Royals is at the top of the table this season, and it's not because they are scoring 200+ every match. They are actually using the impact sub to bolster their bowling, especially when Nandre Burger was fit. I expect more teams to do that in next season. Because if every team can score 200+, then your star studded batting line-up is no longer special. But if you have a bowling attack that can restrict a team under 200, then the game is yours for the taking. The inevitable consequence is that every aspect of the game will become more specialised. Genuine all rounders will survive, bowlers who can bat a bit will also survive but batters who can bowl a bit will become extinct. And let's be honest, as far as Indian team is concerned, batters who can bowl a bit stopped being a thing long before impact sub rule. Ever since Yuvi and Raina retired, we have not been able to find top order batters with whom you can trust 2-3 overs every match. In that sense, impact sub is a symptom, not the root cause.
Hello Sir. What is the importance of having a right-left combination while batting? Is it really useful? How much should a team focus on it, in each format of the game?
I used to watch IPL crazily until 3-4 years back as I loved cricket and in this tournament, cricket was being played on another level with best bowlers and batsman and all-rounders and youngsters all packed together in 8 teams. I last watched IPL wholeheartedly in 2020 when there were 8 teams. But nowadays it doesn't feel like cricket any more, it's more like hit and gone game. Bcz of t20 the whole essence of cricket is getting destroyed day by day. Better name this sport anything else cz cricket is test cricket and ODI also but not t20s that we are seeing today. Because of IPL no youngster is choosing to practice well defensive shots and techniques that are required for test, they are just trying to hit as many sixes as they can. In a few more years test cricket will become a far gone tale.
decades later, the greatest puzzle in the game of cricket is still - "Packing just enough bowlers to bowl 50 or 20 overs without losing out on batting strength & keeper". Impact Rule destroyed it, made it easy....
Why is India not thinking beyond gill, rohit & jaiswal to open the batting for t20 world cup ? Ruturaj has better stats & consistency in t20's (both international & domestic level) than gill, rohit & jaiswal over the last 4 years. Gaikwad is the fastest batsman to score 2000 runs in IPL. As of now, 2nd position in orange cap as well. I think its better to let ruturaj & kohli open the batting. Bumrah can lead the team.
@@sudipsarker9067i too like rohit as an ODI player . But ruturaj has done well in t20's more than rohit over the last 4 years. Fastest batsman to score 2000 runs in IPL as well. He is underutilized. Rohit has lost three ICC trophies as well. I think its time to let deserving youngsters like ruturaj to play and kohli can be his opening partner. Bumrah can be the captain.
@Harsha, never understood why you can get runs of a leg bye. If you can run on leg byes, ideally you should be given caught of the legs as well. It's seems an unfair rule to bowlers, where the bowler has actually beaten the batsman.
My favorite personality I love how you support the under dogs in cricket and you have a smooth voice you have ways of saying things which I love stay safe bro
In my eyes, the IPL is simply it's own entity, it's own entertainment package and competition, that in turn, helps provide opportunities to young Indian and some foreign talent to run shoulders with literally the best. The Indian Cricket team and the IPL should be seen to be two different entities in the broader sense, however form of players and such would obviously carry over since it's obviously a game of T20 cricket.
Mr Bhogle here goes on and on about being unbiased. But I struggle to recall too many instances of him being genuinely unbiased in commentary, especially when any 'star' Indian player has been involved. Let's not forget that Mr. Bhogle is vetted and 'approved' by the BCCI and it is his job-requirement that he toes the BCCI line.
Ahh, at 13:06, its going to be so sad when youre going to stop commentating, i love your commentary, your analysis of the game, im just blessed to have been in a time where harsha bhogle commentated. You're on my bucket list of people to meet, i hope its in the near future
Is it fair to include the high scoring records or now the highest successful chases under the records and statistics of all T20s, especially with the Impact Sub rule playing a major role in achieving such feats? With the majority of the T20 world not following such rules, shouldn't the numbers that we want to absorb as stats, be recorded based on level-playing fields?
1. Abhishek S 2. Yashasvi J 3. Rohit S (C) 4. SKY 5. HP 6. R Singh 7. Rahul T 8. Mayank Y 9. T Natrajan 10. J Bumrah 11. D Chahar 12. Sanju S (wk) 13. Ravi B 14. Kuldeep Y 15. Shivam D
Love you Harsha! I know many people call you a walking dictionary, but if a commentator doesn't have a good vocabulary then they will keep doing Mushayara and memes in the commentary.
Not another "My opinions on X" channel please. You are one of the greatest coms ever. Give us insight into the world of commentary or BTS of professional cricket world. share tips and tricks or Behind the scene nuggets you learned along the way.
#AskMeAnything : For us you are a Storyteller beyond Cricket. What is your take on Ind VS Pak cricket being still not in the normal terms. We understand the Geo-Political side of it, but the GAME itself exuberate joy and excitement with the world wide audience more so within the sub continent.
Harsha ji why do you always use "What a" phrase? What a ball What a shot What a bowler What a batsman What a catch And "he connects", Can he connect? Does he connect? He connects 🎉🎉 Ok I was kinda joking only 😂 but tbh it does get a little repetitive.
when india will change their mindset like Australia usually select their playing 11 or 15 they who is in form team never look big name just look in this series. Who gonna be winning this series for me last so many times I saw that indian team selected more believed in the big name what do u think I am right at this point or not ? usually inform player need to suffer like Samson, chahal
Harsha being hardcore Dhoni fan I was not happy with Ms tweet on you leading to your removal....Mr Bacchan had nothing to do with cricket ....India didn't perform well against Bangladesh and went on to lose the wc...felt bad for u as u were made scapegoat for not being biased
I only follow test cricket for several years now and still love it. IPL is the most boring brand of cricket for me. As Gavaskar once said "Test cricket separates mens from boys." You better have a strong reason in case you loose a test match. As for IPL, good luck with pushing your luck as long as it lasts.
Hello Harsha Is it, that you are addicted to speak a lot? or analyse a lot? Does this cricketing analytical skill you possess, help you in taking decisions of life as well? #LikeIsACricketGame
am i the only one who thinks that we should move on from the likes of rohit and kohli and go to the younger players for t20 after this worldcup or before the worldcup like what was done in 2007???
Dravid, Sachin, Kumble, laxman etc sacrificed their spot on that 2007 T20 WC when they were unable to give results. Why can't our Rohit, Virat, KL, Jadeja. Youngsters without expectations go and win the trophy. It is simple. Ajith missed a trick here. Hello Ajith, Rohit, Dravid, Kohli you will get rewarded this time. Just wait and watch. Last time you just missed.
India aim should be to WIN WC trophy, If you want to lose against pak so be it. There is so harm in that. And people still celebrating pak wale match. Heyy brother we lost that World Cup. Todi common sense hai kya
But Star Sports forces Overseas stars who are now broadcasters to simp for Dhoni, Kohli & Rohit and like wise with their respective IPL teams 😢. Look I'm also fan of Dhoni, Kohli & Rohit but Star Sports should know that the other 7 teams fans also are watch 😒......
