"Bollywood Baadshah" SRK voices his support for commentator Harsha Bhogle
HARSHA BHOGLE is known for his intelligent and witty comments in the commentary box. Furthermore, his knowledge on the game is quite incredible and also appreciates the rich history of the sport, much to the delight of ardent fans. Over the years, Harsha's voice has kept cricket fanatics engrossed throughout the match.
Unfortunately for Harsha, the BCCI has stopped him from commentating for the IPL. The BCCI has terminated commentator’s contract without any explanation, owing to which, we haven’t heard the voice of the great man over the past few days.
Speculations state that the reason would have stemmed from the tweet of Amitabh Bachchan and then a retweet from MS Dhoni.
The tweet from senior Bachchan during the WT20 match between India and Bangladesh.
T 2184 - With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time.

MS Dhoni retweeted the post and said

However, Bollywood star, Shahrukh Khan has spoken in favour of the commentator. While talking to Prannoy Roy of NDTV he said,
"Harsha is fantastic. Especially he's fair in his commentary. We'll miss Harsha Bhogle."
The commentator who is loved by all was quick to oblige and tweeted,
.@iamsrk Thanks. You are special. Wish you luck. pic.twitter.com/eDnRus3zl0
