Hopeful commentator

I would like to be a cricket commentator when I grow up. My role model is Mr. Harsha Bhogle. He did not play cricket, but he has passion for the game and the experience in commentary. He has been doing this for many years now. I have loved learning new words since my childhood and I have been trying to improve my vocabulary and communication skills.

I listen to Mr. Bhogle’s commentary intently, especially during the international matches. It’s fascinating how he talks dramatically yet effectively.

I have made it a habit to speak a lot. Now, I can communicate with ease. Cricket commentary is not just about talking continuously about the game. It shows how passionate and influential your words can be. I wish I can be like Mr. Bhogle. It shall truly be a glorious life if that happened.
