5 on-air comments from cricketers caught on the microphone

The game of cricket has undoubtedly transformed over the years. The innovations have always aided the game in some way or the other. However, the entertainment value of cricket seems to have rocketed sky-high after the inception of T20 cricket. The slam-bang version of the gentleman’s game has metamorphosed cricket like nothing else.From cheerleaders to stump microphones to players wearing microphones on the field, the shortest format of the game has given cricket a whole new dimension altogether. The players talking to commentators while on the field surely ups the entertainment quotient as the viewers get a live view of what a player is thinking about during a particular juncture of a match. It also adds to the fun quotient as well.A character like Andrew Flintoff singing on the microphone or a certain Virender Sehwag humming a popular Hindi song before whacking a delivery for six, things like these entertain the audience like nothing else and here are five such moments:

#1 Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag is a unique character by all means. The man doesn’t think for a second before trying to hit the ball towards the boundary, even when standing on a score of 295. This man’s approach to the game is unique.

There were always some stories about his singing while he batted. He gave a glimpse of that in an exhibition match between Sachin’s Blasters and Warne’s Warriors in the Cricket All-Stars Series 2015.

He was humming a popular Hindi song called ‘Tu jane na’ from a Bollywood movie titled ‘Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani’ and then he hit the bowler Allan Donald for a towering six in his usual style.

Well, that’s what you call multitasking.
