Aakash Chopra

[goose]

i have a unhealthy dislike for aakash chopra. he names his podcast aakashvani which i understand means 'gift from heaven', he thinks he is dev anand, pouts like parveen babi, has a ridiculously neat hair parting and buffon, and just looks very pleased with himself. thank you for the runs in 2003 but my god what a tit. and worst of all facebook keeps sending me his videos in their 'suggested for you'. are they taking the piss?

it might have something to do me googling for a suitably silly portrait to post here. there's no privacy these days. can't even take the piss in private.

Sometimes I am in two minds, whether I should watch cricket or some sitcom. 

 

But when deadly duo of Nehra ji and Chopra ji are on commentary panel it's an easy choice coz that is like a sitcom featuring some cricket

never heard him actually commentate on live cricket. sounds horrendous

I agree chopra can be really smug at times, but he's not the worst commentator out there.

He and Manju gets so much hate in this country. Even LSRK nowadays. None of them are half as bad Bhogle. He learned nothing about cricket despite being a part of it for 30 years.

hey those 17 runs while Veeru scored 83 were pretty important.

 

Terrible commentator.  And the sad fact is that he isn't even the worst in India.

Chopra is the worst.. Sometimes even Sanju Manju comes across as more intelligent.

Chopra says the most obvious things and calls them his insights.. I've tried to remove his videos from my newsfeed but they still keep coming up on Google search.. Try searching any topic on cricket and there is an article in the top 3 results with Chopra's opinion

Not to me, try incognito or stop trackers on your device.

You should lose contract after this. But there's no accountability in this job

Aakashvani is a take on AIR (All India Radio) station = Aakashvani, Vivdhbharathi etc. I don't think he has airs about speaking from heavens! lol

Like that Sports Tak guy  Vikrant Gupta, he has a lot of followers and is SM savvy. Average cricketer and commentator.

going by the consensus his main qualification to commentate would appear to be his side parting

He's not wrong about this one.
