Patiala, 20 march (press ki taquat bureau): Navjot Singh Sidhu, the flamboyant cricketer-turned-politician, is set to return to the commentary box for the upcoming IPL after a hiatus of over ten years.
His comeback as a commentator coincides with the crucial Lok Sabha elections where his party, Congress, is facing a tough battle against the BJP. Sidhu, known for his unique style of commentary and witty one-liners, has been a star campaigner for Congress in various states.
Despite the lucrative IPL opportunity, Sidhu’s decision to skip the parliamentary elections may signal his focus on state politics and serving Punjab. His absence from the political arena could be seen as a strategic move by Congress, while his star appeal could have benefitted the party in Punjab.
