With the first of five T20I series between India and England set to begin at 7 PM on Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the list of commentators for the series has been revealed.

One of the most prominent members of the Hindi commentary desk would be the former opener of the Indian cricket team and two-time IPL winning captain Gautam Gambhir

Oddly, as soon as the news broke, a unique set of requests began to flow Gambhir’s way with the fans of the Indian cricket team requesting him to compliment and praise the touring England team while doing no such thing for the Men in Blue.

But Why Do People Not Want Gambhir To Praise Team India?

Simply because whenever the former cricketer praises or backs up a player or a team ahead of a match, they seem to not do so well and end up with a bad performance on the ground. 

It has been an under-the-radar running gag with the Indian cricket fans who continue to make hilarious requests to the southpaw about not choosing any Indian cricketers in his fantasy cricket team and ask him to praise the best performing player in the opposing side as much as he can so that in the next match they end up choking.

One of the greatest instances of such an occurrence was when Gambhir had selected Delhi Capitals’ Marcus Stoinis to be the captain of his fantasy team for the IPL 2020 final.

I have picked Marcus Stoinis as captain of my fantasy XI for the #IPL2020 final. Among the bowlers, I have gone for @ashwinravi99 over Anrich Nortje.

The Australian, who’d had a phenomenal IPL season in 2020 ended up getting out on a golden duck on the batting end of the team and also turned out to be the most expensive bowler for Delhi in the final against Mumbai Indians.

For the India-England series, Gambhir’s Hindi commentary panel will be joined by Aakash Chopra, VVS Laxman, and Parthiv Patel.

For the English channel, Harsha Bhogle will be joined by Graeme Swann, Ajit Agarkar, Deep Dasgupta, Murali Kartik, and Laxman Sivaramakrishnan.
