Former cricketers often take up commentary after finishing their playing careers, which isn’t a bad thing considering the wealth of cricketing knowledge they have.
While most of the cricketers-turned-commentators try their best to ensure they remain unbiased regardless of their national affiliations, some let their emotions get a hold of them and Bangladesi commentator Athar Ali Khan is one of them.
Unfortunately, former Bangladesh cricketer, Athar Ali Khan, is known more for his commentary than his playing days and he has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons in the ongoing Pakistan tour.
From unnecessarily praising Bangladesh pacers for bowling deliveries that Pakistani batters intentionally left to unduly lauding Bangladesh batters even when they got hit by some ferocious deliveries of Pakistani pacers, Athar has made a fool of himself by his biased commentary.
Twitter users have also pointed out Athar’s one-sided commentary and are wondering what is wrong with the cricketer-turned-commentator.
Let’s have a look at some of the top reactions.
