Navjot Singh Siddhu aka sherry praji is without doubt one of the most colourful cricketers to have played international cricket...A dynamic stroke player, a brilliant feilder towards the end of his career(remember commentators started calling him JONTY SINGH), a colourful commentator most famous for his siddhuisms and his on air brawls with geoffrey boycott and alan wilkins (while harsha bhogle used to watch like a timid cat), and more recently a MP of amritsar......
Well siddhu though a very popular cricketer in his playing days as well is enjoying more popularity as a commentator...scandals and siddhu go hand in hand....and even in his stint as a commentator siddhu has already been involved in many scandals, just like the way he was involved in scandals in his cricketing career.
Take for instance his exclusion from the ESPNSTAR commentary team beacuse of his frequent spats on air with boycott which were initiated by Siddhu himself....
Another one comes to mind when siddhu fell in a lot of trouble for ridiculing the pape sardars....
But still siddhu remains unfazed....he is the evergreen sardar and more recently by winning the lok sabha seat from amritsar he has proved that he is indeed a very popular fighure especially in punjab...
It goes without saying that no review on sherry paaji is complete without a few siddhuisms...so here are the list of my personal favorite siddhuisms
1.That ball went so high it could have got an airhostess down with it
2.Fattest pig goes to the butcher first
3.It is better to be a living beggar than a buried emperor
4.You do not kill a man commiting suicide
5.A good lather on a beard is half the shave
6.If ifs and buts were pots and pans there would be no tinkers
7.As straight as a gazelle, dead as a dodo
8.wickets are like wives, you can never trust them
