About Author

Harsha Bhogle is widely recognized as the face and the voice of Indian cricket. A recipient of numerous awards, he was voted by readers of Cricinfo as their 'most favourite cricket commentator' in a worldwide poll in 28. One of his proudest possessions is a photograph of a group of spectators in Pakistan holding a banner that says 'Harsha Bhogle fan club'. Harsha has been the face of ESPN in India since the day they went on air in 1995 and presents cricket - and, in an interesting diversion, the World Cup of football in 26 - for ESPN Star Sports. He has worked on all the major radio stations in the cricketing world as well, with a special affinity for Australia which he first visited in 1991-92, and where he was dubbed the 'sexiest voice on radio'. He is close to achieving the double of working on 1 Tests and 4 one-day internationals, the first of which came in 1983.
