IND vs AFG: Harsha Bhogle has a gentle response to a fan, who wasn't happy with his tweet

Renowned veteran Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle is an ardent cricket fan and he supports each and every cricket playing country. Despite facing the wrath from eminent personalities, Harsha never changed his way of analyzing the game and that made him earn the title, voice of cricket.

In the year 2016 during World T20 match against Bangladesh in Bengaluru, Bhogle was at the receiving end for focusing more on Bangladesh players rather than Indian cricketers. The Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan also expressed his anger on Bhogle despite not taking his name out directly. His tweet read, “With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time.” Even MS Dhoni quoted Big B’s tweeting saying, “nothing to add.”
