Ok Here is a fun-intended post on Navjot Singh Sidhu - the famous cricketer and commentator. My intentions are not to ridicule him, so no offense meant - read and as usual have fun!
Sindhu a classy right handed batsman, born in 1963 in Punjab was the only gifted stroke player who would easily convert a easy six to a down-the-ground defence. He would have been a gifted soldier with his mighty looks and booming words - for once he said "I'm a soldier of Prime Minister Vajpayee" . Such are his honed skills in batting, that once a greatest bowling legend fell half way sleep while bowling against him.
Sidhu is definitely "The man" who made strides in the world of cricket, right from the uneventful debut he made in 1983 against West Indies scoring just 19 runs, till his acrobatic stint with ESPN-Star as a commentator when he was sacked in August 2003, for allegedly using "F-Word" on the air! Some of the best nicknames he earned were
"Sixer Sidhu" (this was actually an intelligent tactic employed by the crowd to cheer him up so that he would atleast score a run, and give the batsmen at the other end a chance to play)
"Sherry" - (Yeah seeing him batting even my grandpa yawns and sori(njufies) (meaning scratching in Tamil))
"Johnty Singh" (Another brilliant tactic by spectator(s), to reduce the huge gap between his arms and legs(only while fielding guys!!!), so that he can atleast try to stop the ball. But little did they knew that his generosity towards the fellow beings is so great that he actually converts 1's into 2's and 2's into 4's (not while batting) while fielding!!)
The hallmark of his career was when he got nominated as "MTV's India Youth Icon 2006" - but sorry the results are yet to be announced - (actually two youths had an heart attack and died when they heard this nomination, so they decided not to announce the results). Soon after much discussions they finally announced Dhoni as this years MTV Youth Icon
Cyrus Shaukar even hosted a program on MTV praising the greatness of Sidhu - called "Pidhu the Great!" (no no its not pithukuli, its pidhu the great!). You need to watch this video here!
