Apart from having one of the smartest cricketing brains in the commentator’s box, Harsha Bhogle is a household name for those who breath and eat international cricket.
This time though, it was the choice of language that made him a hot topic for internet trolls.
After asking Thakur about his ability to bat Bhogle shifted to Jadeja and asked him a question too, but in Hindi.
This brief moment was enough for internet trolls to target Harsha Bhogle.

Harsha Bhogle seems to be not in sync with the changing dynamics of the team.#INDvWIN#jadeja
Harsha Bhogle asks Ravindra Jadeja questions in Hindi. He replies in English. Even Jadeja has improved his English over the years. #INDvsWI #INDvWI

You know Jadeja is a legend when Harsha Bhogle asks him a question in Hindi and he answers in english! Then all questions are asked in English 😂 but seriously what a player.

Harsha, who was not in any mood to strike another controversy, simply explained his decision to start with a question in Hindi.
Okay, since I have been flooded with responses on this…. In a post match presentation, you always go in the language the player is most comfortable in. I’ve known Jadeja for 10 yrs now and so began in his language. The moment he indicated he was good to go in English, I shifted

People who adore Bhogle and have seen him grow over the years were quick to back him.
No need to explain. You had all the right intentions.

Felt nice that Jadeja spoke English. He is such a fighter.
You too , continued with English, giving respect to his willingness to speak English.
Lot of qualities in you to admire.
I am sure you know players better than anybody else, you are right.

The way you conducted the post match presentation was perfect. Do not listen to any criticism. It was great to see you there, sir!

Why at all you responding Sir…there is nothing wrong with post presentation with Hindi. Or any other native language..which player chooses to respond.

People here are trolling others for each single thing which does not makes sense.

Ex: People trolling @bhogleharsha
for yesterday’s post match presentation with Jadeja. This is okay and he switched from Hindi to English later, not a big deal. Are these people so free??#INDvWI
Okay so this is what colonial rule has bestowed on us .. feel shame on speaking your own language and feel elite speaking in English .

Well done @bhogleharsha sir on speaking out on this . Absolutely legend of a commentator. @imjadeja 💯💯 https://t.co/lpKddmrSJg
Safe to say, an army of Bhogle fans will always come to save him from any such situation and when trolls make a fuss out of anything ordinary.
