It is a rare occurrence for a cricket commentator as widely acclaimed globally as Harsha Bhogle to face trolling regarding his own commentary. However, social media is currently buzzing with jokes and jibes aimed at Harsha Bhogle, mocking his commentary style during the ongoing India vs England 2nd Test of the five-match series in Visakhapatnam.

On the second day of the second Test between India and England, renowned Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah delivered a remarkable bowling performance, securing six wickets for just 45 runs in 15.5 overs on a pitch that wasn't particularly favourable to pacers. His standout moment came when he bowled a deceptive yorker to England's Ollie Pope, sending his wickets airborne in a cartwheel fashion. Harsha Bhogle, the celebrated cricket commentator, enthusiastically exclaimed, "What a ball! What a bowler!" during the live commentary.

However, a twist unfolded the next day when James Anderson, the English bowler, produced an exceptional delivery to dismiss Indian captain Rohit Sharma, disturbing his stumps. Once again, it was Harsha Bhogle on air expressing the moment with a similar exclamation, "What a bowler!"

The pattern continued a few hours later when England's captain, Ben Stokes, took an incredible catch to dismiss Shreyas Iyer. Bhogle, in a familiar fashion, remarked, "What a catch!" These consistent reactions drew the attention of social media users, who then took a playful jab at Bhogle.
