India had undoubtedly shown great team work and a great cricket on the field lately against Bangladesh in the ICC World Cup T20. There were lots of praises showered on the team after their wonderful performance.
Unfortunately there were some controversies that swelled up not on the cricketers though, but on the commentators. It all started when the veteran actor Mr. Amitabh Bachchan twitted and expressed his concern over the micro-blogging site.
He said, “With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time”
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.

Soon the twitter was flooded with tweets supporting what Bachchan said. Though Bollywood Actor did not took the name of the anchor/commentator he was referring to, but certainly seemed very upset in his series of tweets. Soon after the ODI and T20 Indian captain, M.S. Dhoni also retweeted Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet.

After these conversations on twitter, Harsha Bhogle an Indian cricket commentator and journalist out of nowhere took the actor’s comments on himself and took it to facebook to give an explanation of what he did and why commentators can’t just speak of the country they belong to or they are favoring to.
I must confess to being a bit taken aback by the intensity of the criticism yesterday over the question of focussing…
