By: My first commentary
| |
I grew up watching cricket matches in my living room, and my parallel commentary was always part of the ambience. But doing live commentary on television, in the midst of cricket legends like Kapil Dev and Ian Chappell, is a whole different ball game. My first cricket commentary was for a match played between South Africa and West Indies. I was extremely nervous and ended up stuttering throughout the show. I remember having tears in my eyes when the show ended. The first four days were just as nerve-wrecking as the first. But the channel authorities and my co-hosts did not lose faith in me. I regained my confidence thanks to their support.
