After an absence from multiple live TV shows, senior Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu is all set to make his comeback on Television. The former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has been away from TV ever since he visited the Darbar Sahib Gurudwara in Pakistan (via the Kartarpur corridor) and lavished praise on former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. Amid the massive uproar over Sidhu's Pakistan visit on social media, the Congress leader left the Kapil Sharma Show. Ever since then, the MLA from Punjab's Amritsar (East) remained away from Television and more frequent in Punjab politics. Now, Star Sports on Tuesday announced that Navjot Singh Sidhu will make his comeback in the commentary box for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Star Sports took to its Instagram handle and shared a photo saying 'Sardar of Commentary Box' is back. Sharing the report, Star Sports wrote, "A wise man once said, "Hope is the biggest ‘tope’" ..And if you're hoping that this wise man - the great @navjotsinghsidhu himself - comes back to the commentary box, then "THOKO TAALI", because he has joined our Incredible StarCast!..Don't miss his incredible commentary (and his gajab one-liners) in #IPLOnStar - STARTS MAR 22, 6:30 PM onwards, LIVE on Star Sports Network!"
