Though Vinod Kambli may not be remembered by cricket fans much, he does things which bag headlines. And what better time than the IPL to come to limelight as the event is one of the most watched sporting events in the world.
The former left handed batsman for India has once again hogged the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The player via his twitter handle @vinodkambli349 posted a number of tweets, which targeted IPL commentators such as Rameez Raja, Shoaib Akhtar, and Navjot Singh Sidhu.
Former cricketers Raja, Akhtar and Sidhu were experts in the studio during IPL Extraaa innings, which takes place before the match starts.

"Siddhu sirf saayri mein busy hai.comments koun karegaa mera baap .himmat hai toh siddhu ko bolo mera sammna kare.iski toh kar donga mein"
