There was never a kind of group of players. It’s like there was Mohammad Azharuddin, then VVS Laxman and Venugopal Rao.” When asked if he always wanted to be commentator, he said, “I guess I wanted to do that. I started when I was 19 and the passion has not dwindled so far.” Commenting on the ICC’s decision of no separate window for IPL, he said, “I love the IPL as it gives lot of opportunities for many young players. So, maybe that’s what they decided.”
