“A magnificent strike into the crowd, India lift the World Cup, after 28 years; and the party starts in the dressing room, and its an Indian captain who has been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final.” The moment was surely magical, but what made it more special is the voice behind it.
For years, sports has been gifted with some voices who didn’t just call the shots but also made the moments more special. Imagine the 2011 WC final without the iconic commentary or the very special ‘Ankara Messi’ without the voice; those moments will still be special but will fade a bit.
Yesterday, the ICC announced the elite list of people who will be doing the coverage. The announced list includes names like Kass Naidoo, Ravi Shastri, Ricky Ponting, Ian Smith, Sanjay Manjrekar, Aaron Finch, Nasser Hussain, Harsha Bhogle, Dinesh Karthik, Matthew Hayden, Eoin Morgan, Ian Bishop, Shane Watson, Sunil Gavaskar, and Mark Howard.
Ravi Shastri will do what he does best, hyping up the crowd while doing the toss. Nasser Hussain and Sanjay Manjrekar will also work together to announce the pitch report as India plays Australia in the biggest match of the year.
India is already having the run of their life, winning 10 consecutive matches. On the other hand, Australia pulled off magic as they were at the bottom of the table after losing their first two matches but have been unbeaten since. What a match we will witness as some of our beloved faces will be the voice of it.
