3 best commentary lines by Aakash Chopra as former opener turns 46 today
Aakash Chopra is part of the Hindi commentary panel for the upcoming India vs Australia series 2023.
Aakash Chopra, the prominent cricket expert, was born in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, on September 19, 1977. He developed into a key personality in Indian cricket over time, and his verbal choices have altered the commentary landscape.
The former Kolkata Knight Riders opener is regarded as one of the most competent professionals in the area and one of the top commentators of our current game. Let’s dwell into a few of the former Indian opener’s often employed commentary quotes as he celebrates his birthday.
3 of the best commentary lines by Aakash Chopra:
1) “Sikka Uchla Aur Gira Mehemano Ke Paksh Main”

This is one of the most famous lines that the Indian opener uses after the toss takes place between the two sides. India’s luck with tosses has been rather tragic off late. Therefore, Aakash Chopra uses the phrase that the toss goes in the favour of the visiting team. He also used this phrase during the Indian Premier League as well
2) “Fielder bane darshak, darshak banne fielder”

Indian Premier League was one of the major reasons for the rise of Aakash Chopra in the commentary panel. This phrase of his has been used in almost every T20I or IPL game that he has commentated on. IPL has seen some of the longest sixes being hit in its rich history and the fielders on most occasions are just seen doing ball-watching. Instead, the public in the stadiums have a shot at catching the ball.
3) “Kohli ka balla, mashallah”

Virat Kohli is surely one of the modern-day greats of our beautiful game. He is a World Cup winner and has seen and been part of the rise of Indian cricket. The former Indian skipper dominated the world by his batting and Aakash Chopra used this phrase on more than a few occasions during a Kohli innings. After every magnificent shot or achievement of a big milestone, Chopra used to reiterate these lines and remind everyone about the class of Virat Kohli.
