Harsha Bhogle Is Celebrating His 61st Birthday Today
Born in 1961 in Hyderabad, Bhogle is adored by the Indian fans for his poetic commentary style and melodious voice and is someone who often comes up with funny yet insightful metaphors of cricket and cricketers with the events of life.

Karthik, who is currently preparing to fly to West Indies for the T20I series later this month, took to Twitter to wish Bhogle a birthday. He hailed the Birthday boy as a legend in the commentary box.
“Happiest birthday to one of the legends when it comes to describing the game in the most poetic way. Wish you the very best of everything @bhogleharsha!” Karthik tweeted.

Dinesh Karthik has been having a terrific time on the field in the past few months. First, he broke all hell loose during the IPL 2022, smashing 330 runs for RCB at a staggering strike rate of 183 which paved the way for his comeback to the Indian team after three years.
He notched up his maiden T20I half-century, in a T20I vs South Africa and has all but sealed his place on the plane to Australia for the T20 World Cup as a specialist finisher and death-overs marauder in the Indian team.
