- Very excited to present to you our first guest - the man who made cricket poetry - Mr. Harsha Bhogle - the voice of cricket!
In this episode, Mr. Bhogle opened up like never before and showered us with anecdotes after anecdotes - from encounters with young Sachin to an intimate dinner with MS Dhoni to even a sneak peek into his not-so-known love story. Mr. Bhogle was at his candid best, he even addressed the 2016 BCCI controversy!
The wit and charm that he is known for on the field accompanied him here, onto our coffee table.
This episode is sure to leave you inspired to hone your passions!
And so, over an exchange of stories, we asked the man himself - How The Hell Did You Do It?
“How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original - a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys - the highs, the lows and even the blows. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out - How The Hell Did They Do It?

About Humans of Bombay -
Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 8 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres - stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 4.5M!
Our idea is simple - to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
Commentator Geoffrey Boycott once said "Sachin may be a great batsman but he never got his name on the Lord's honor board." Harsha Bhogle, as always with witty remarks, responded "So whose loss is it, Sachin's or the honor boards'?" - What a a reply !
@@beefy1986 Not in an international match.though. Not sure if his name is on the leaders board though. It’s actually the loss of both. Leaders board missing an iconic player and sachin missing a place in the leaders board.
@@sln7839 brian lara and ricky pinting never got there
@@sln7839 Right on man. I mean if Ajit Agarkar has a 100 at Lord's then Sachin should too
@@beefy1986 it was not in sachin’s destiny. May be he always played under that pressure of leader board. Still doesn’t take away his greatness.
@@sln7839 Agreed. But sometimes I get cheesed off when people say that it doesnt matter that Sachin never scored a 100 at Lord's. It does and it matters a big deal due to the legacy and the tradition. Doesnt tae away from his greatness but its a feather missing from his cap
Few feedbacks:
a. I completely understand you want to ask all the questions that you have prepared, but at the same time do consider listening to the person and try contributing to the conversation, rather than in constant hurry to jump from one question to the other.
b. When you are interviewing who has got a lot of experience in a particular field, you need to understand that the person has got a lot of stories to share, so don't limit yourself to the questions that have been asked over and over again. Let him speak. You don't need to do anything at all, just sit there and enjoy.
Having said that, Thanks. Cheers to the great initiative you are upto, guys. Always a fan of HoB.
This.
Exactly
I have made the same observation.
A good initiative, looking forward for more such content
Yes, I agree and to add to that I noticed that, very often, Ms. Mehta was preparing for the next segment. In doing so, she was losing the essence and emotion of what Mr. Bhogle was narrating. I felt that at times, she would cut some of the free flowing stories to ask something slightly off topic. Given HOB are editing each interview, they can always let the stories flow and even ask follow-ups and cut things in edits if they are stretching.
That said, HOB team has been doing some great stuff and this new series sounds like a great idea too. All the best to the team for this venture!
@@parthshah8197 it is what it's czcams.com/video/q87sUAB332w/video.html
Not a hate comment but a feedback for the interviewer: It's good to be prepared for the interview but when you have someone like Harsha in front of you, who already looks so excited and eager to share his stories, your job should be to get the most out of him and not just to stick to the script. For most times, it felt like the interviewer was not invested in his answers but eagerly waiting to jump to the next question or showcase that she'd done her research. It was like having a gold mine in front of you and but you just scratched the surface, because you were too eager to wrap up and leave. ❤
Thats Humans of Bombay and Karishma Mehta for you largely(Atleast thats the feel you get it when you see their LinkedIn).
Exactly what I felt. But with Harsha in front she might just have been a little nervous and that's understandable. I thoroughly enjoyed otherwise. 👏👏
Hw well said...👍👍👍
Felt the same....it's like Harsha was eager to go into a story and was repeatedly cut off....But completely enjoyed the video...
Just came to type this only !
I never miss a single podcast/interview of Harsha sir. It's a treat just to listen him talk about life and Cricket.. lucky that we have him.
Harsha Bhogle is a genuinely very well mannered,soft spoken, humble and honest person u can ever see on TV
"Everything about life is a long story" - Harsha Bhogle. Wow! Having this poetic touch with his beautifully chosen words can make any presenter run for his money!
His relationship with dhoni is something different that every player wanted to have in his carrer...the way he narrates him ... I can listen to him whole day & night ..... Dhoni aka THALA love u ♥️♥️
😅😅
Big fan of MS. Sir I came here only for MS luv u ❤️❤️
something about the way he talks is calming, i can’t put my finger to what it is but there is definitely something about him that makes you feel warm, welcomed and calm. so many takeaways from this interview, i came in expecting to understand his journey but instead i’m taking away so many life lessons, far more than i actually anticipated. one of the key lessons being that one should never be closed off to new opportunities and experiences. take it as it comes, you never where it could get you. i would love, love, love to have a genuine conversation with him someday. dude’s truly the voice of indian cricket and also, a fantastic storyteller. what a fricking legend of a man!
❤️❤️❤️
And you too write beautifully! Summed up the feelings of over a hundred of us. ☺️
@@absda1000 one friend is equal to 10 books
We from the 80-90s generation have only heard this man’s voice. Right now also, one feels that this person should just keep talking. It’s soothing to hear someone talk with such great clarity of thought.
Mr. Harsha Bhogle is the best commentator India has. His biggest quality is his empathetic approach to the players irrespective of their seniority, stats and achievements. This takes a lot of understanding of the game, the player, the pressure, maturity and the situational awareness. A rare quality to say the least.
yeah
Not a hate comment but feedback: Was looking forward for this interview sorry but the interviewer could have done a better job. He is known for his story telling ability she could have been a little more patient and listen to him than cutting him off frequently with her questions. This looks more like a QA than a podcast/interview. ❤️
(Edit): Not sure it is the anchor's fault but it would be bad editing. Very abrupt cuts in between.
I'm a big fan of Karishma's, but I have to admit that the rush of moving into another segment/ question was sometimes visible. It could have been the first episode jitter too, but I'm sure the team will only do a better job from here on. Congratulations on this new segment.
Couldn't agree more. Appears she is more interested in next questions rather than hearing the answer. Which sadly could not lead to more insights. Anyways always a joy to listen to this man.
True
Agree. She appeared unprepared, kept looking back at her notes while he spoke. Why didn’t she let someone at par take this up? This was below average
Dam true interviewer suckedn
Harsha ..as a teen in late 90s grwn up watching him..the warmth..the honesty, the welcome smile he brought it to our small BPL tvs n our living room ..he was a representation of our era which was innocent , grounded ..in a way along with Tendulkar and SRK defined post liberalised 90s India ❤️
The voice that used to rang at around 4.30-5 AM in ESPN in 2003 in our tv sets India tour of Australia is still fresh.
There's something about him, his voice that just attracts us to listen to him... 🌟
Undoubtedly the voice of Cricket ❤️
Not just voice of indian cricket, he has been called "the voice of cricket"
If commentary was an art, then THE ARTIST is Mr. Harsha Bhogle. Been a fan of you sir from the day I started watching cricket in late 90s.
Oh my! This person has so many stories to tell... Just can't stop listening to him... The fanboy in me is dancing. HoB should plan a series of this with Harsha ❤️
He is himself is an art....Art of commentry..he is so casual with words and putting extraordinary words everytime on his lines...Just wow ..
I got goosebumps when he talked about MSD. I don't know why.
About Dhoni 35:00
Indeed, gratitude and humility produces some of the most cherishable moments in one's life and this person has been an avid example of that. Thanks Mr. Bhogle for everything.
Harsha is such an inspirational person. As a 90s kid, we loved his post game analysis shows. I must say I learned conversational English by listening to commentators like him.
It is true that being a host, he doesn't get a chance to end games. Ravi Shastri always gets that chance although he has to do the presentation soon after. Hope Harsha's wish to finish big matches comes soon.
Another thing you find amazing about Harsha is his command over languages. He speaks wonderfully well in Hindi, Marathi and Telugu. That's not a skill many modern Indians have.
Good luck Harsha. Keep commentating.
The man himself! Just love his voice and can’t think of him doing anything apart from commentary. Thoroughly missed him around 2016-2017
Can hear Harsha sir anytime, any day. It's always memorable and nostalgic.
My father usually said while listening current commentators that there was a commentator named Harsha Bhogle during radio & durdarshan days and his voice and way of commenting was so so beautiful.
Please show him this episode!
What an episode!! Really awesome. So warm and genuine. Hosted very well too. As he was given the space to talk and express himself. Looking forward to more
❤️❤️❤️
So sweet, thank you for your love and support!
Every one in their 50's would have grown with Harsha's commentry and it is like - something missing in cricket without Harsha's commentry 😘
Being a cricket buff I always told my friend if one day I ever get a chance to meet a commentator it would be Harsha Sir. I have huge respect for him. I am always in awe how good orator he is and the command he has over the language. Thank you Sir for being a great example and making my favorite sport more fun. Your witty replies are still used on my desktop background.
What an absolute legend! No wonder he has this calming tone because of what he said in the interview: "When people see you, they see you by choice. In a sense they are inviting you home. You can't scream and shout and rant and abuse when they invite you home. You behave like you are in somebody's house"
This interview is Gold Standard. Quite nostalgic as it took us through my childhood and the quality and tenacity of Harsha Bhogle. His life is an inspiration to all of us. Thanks Harsha. You were, is and will be the bigg doyen of Indian Voice in the com box. I wish we get many more beautiful moments to cherish in the days to come.
A lifelong dream to meet and chat with Mr. Bhogle. What a legend! He brings life to everything that comes out in his voice.
Huge respect for you Sir. I am a big fan of yours. The way you make us visualize cricket thru your voice is just phenomenal. Arguably the best commentator the world has ever seen. Thank you Humans of Bombay for bringing out this lovely episode
Viewer Discretion: Ignore the interviewer and just enjoy the natural flow of Mr. Bhogle. The producers could have had a robot instead and he would still enjoy conversing with it. So good is Harsha that the interviewer’s poor effort is completely over shadowed. Please bring a person who can naturally converse and ask questions relevant to the flow of the conversation. And yes, take those cards away from her.
YES! The interviewer is absolute rubbish . It's like she memorized some stuff and is just going through the motions of asking questions . No natural flow of conversation. No real interest in what Mr. Harsha Bhogle is saying . Absolutely no idea on how to ask a follow up question. And don't get me started on the number of times he was interrupted ! That too to ask "how much were you paid"! Eesh!
I so agree with this.
Little harsh for you to say this.. She has tried her best and will only get better… Even Harsha will agree to that..
@@ashokkarthikeyan13 You have no idea how many more genuinely talented people are denied this opportunity just because they don’t look that glamorous. Harsha himself would have found it tough in this current generation given his physical appearance. I’m just saying because producers just want a pretty face who can do a half decent job. Personally, I would go with talent. So that’s my point in this case. I have no intentions of attacking her. It’s the dumb producers who think audience will buy anything. I’m sure this young lady will be super talented at something else, but not at this.
@@ashokkarthikeyan13 well, ain't that harsh, she was just cutting out the flow of conversation. May be it might have more to do with the flat of interview, if it's a podcast...she would have been better I assume.
The way he talks just makes us to stop doing everything else and listen to him speak. I bet this is only a tip of an iceberg, and the memories he has with the sport and the players and the knowledge he shares is 💥💥. Great job with the episode @humansofbombay & karishma 👏👏
Such a gem of a person he is...everytime you hear him you learn something new...
What a great episode! I was glued to the chair for entire 45 mins. There’s always a smile when you listen to his calm soothing voice. Beautiful lessons shared by him, but the one thing I loved the most was getting on a TV screen is same as going to someone’s house. He behaved, welcomed the audience with his warmth, brought people together to watch the game. I wish he’ll be commentating when India lifts the World Cup again. Grateful to Karishma and HOB team!
Bsdk aur kuch kaam dhanda nai kya...glue laaga k beth gya
Exactly what I wanted to say ❤️
One of the best interviews full of life, filled with such humility and a poise he carries all through. Such a delight to listen to him speak.
Ganguly and Dhoni as captains had an impact that I don't think we'll see for a long-time.
Ganguly nurtured and backed players like Sehwag, Nehra, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Yuvi, Dhoni, etc. all the way through. That core formed the spine of the 2011 World Cup winning team.
Dhoni then carried that on, nurtured and backed the likes of Ashwin, Raina, Kohli (part of the 2011 winning team) and backed players like Jadeja Rohit Sharma Dhawan etc. who formed the core of the 2013 Champions Trophy winning team (which India won unbeaten).
Dhoni also won all major ICC trophies possible, that too all in different conditions and countries.
He asks a brilliant question regarding today’s relationship… simply loved the way he puts it across
Sachin Tendulkar and Harsha bhogle combination is emotion never ending story the commoradrie they have in today's world and and this generation players can't have that relation with commentators
I would come back to this again & again. Some great lessons there.
Harsha has been a constant in our life’s .. comes across such a humble person with such great perspective. One of the best commentators of our era 👏
Man...If HB did a daily podcast I would listen to it! Such an amazing person ❤️
Most classy, open and frank commentator… Wealth of knowledge and wisdom in this interview. A must listen !!!
Harsha Bhogle, the epitome of cricket commentary, it’s just a joy watching/hearing him speak. Such a nice interview. Kudos to you and your channel…
"Opportunity is the adversity wearing different clothes". Every now and then Harsha keeps on slipping these gems. Listen to him and you feel good about yourself.
Congratulation Karishma Mehta for pulling this interview off so effortlessly. Great Going.
I think what he actually meant to say was "Adversity is opportunity wearing different clothes". I heard him say what he said and thought that doesn't sound right.
@@mantaray2511 True !!! I also felt the same. But we understood the essence of what he wanted to convey.
Loved this! It is so refreshing to see him speak. Love the concept 😍
Absolutely a stunning orator with a mesmerizing voice,he is AR REHMAN of cricket undoubtably,very polite and humble personality.
Always love to listen to this legend. For us 90s kid, who were already big fan of the game, he made us love the idea behind it...we owe him a lot.
Just a piece of advice, not sure if the interview was edited to fit the time, but the interviewer was only sticking to questions and not reacting to the wise words spoken by sir. For me as an audience wanted to dwell in to the thought/advise/situation he was saying but we were jumping into the next question.
Anyway always love to see him, all the best HOB for the upcoming episodes 👍
No one speaks about cricket better than harsha does and I can listen to him all day!! And he's a true hyderabadi by nature and whenever he has a chance he speaks about Hyderabad which tells us that one should never forget their roots!!
Always great to hear him speak!
Loved the whole episode!! Huge respect to Harsha Bhogle! 👏🏻
can forever listen to harsha Bhogle and just fell in love with his voice....always a lovely voice to listen....
Terrific host, Harsha is always a wonderful story teller 👌👌👌
I never allowed me or someone to keep on mute when Harsha is on commentary..I would love to see and hear him more n more n more ❤️
Kept me glued all through the conversation..well done and a brilliant idea executed..best of luck ahead!!!
Thank you so much!
Harsha bhogle is an emotion..I got goosebumps listening him..all the time
Loved this concept of yours kudos to humans of Bombay team 👏 💙
In Simple words...legendary Commentator.....Harsha bhogle Sir ..
What a great chat-episode 1 couldn’t be more special!
Yes!!❤❤❤
Thanks for this talk. I absolutely love listening to this man. Favourite commentator any day of the week. It's always such a pleasure to hear him take you through a cricket match. Ever since I began watching cricket in the early 00's as a kid, his voice has been an indispensable part of the experience. His demeanor, his way with words and his wittiness is such a rich addition to any match. CricBuzz is lucky they roped him. Love his videos on the channel.
And I wish he gets his wish to call an India World Cup final. That would be absolutely amazing.
This is one of the best interviews of any celebrity in recent years..Mr Bhogle u r inspiration to millions & the way u speak can make a dead body also smile..Host u don't need to be in a hurry to go to next question,rather than listen to one of the best speakers of World...
45 minutes to fit an entire life accomplishments and stories is just not enough. He started the trend in Indian commentary. Great interview. Of all the best question I liked came from Harsha himself why the present generation is afraid of relationship thinking that something could go wrong.
love Harsha bhogle in every bit of the interview soo calming soo articulate
Love this ! Seems so genuine !
i still remember the Harsha voice in 1992 such a artistic made me to listen always he there as a commentator. i was used to listen BBC sports news at around 9 .15pm . it was superb to listen as he deliver such a flow with no loud as others . your interview so nicely crafted as you look like
I love Harsha Bhogle, after listening to this interview- I cannot stop but admiring your genuinity, humility, honesty, respect for the bliss you have, willingness to continually learn, admit if and when you are wrong or percieve that you are wrong, your great understanding of cricket and cricketing legends, respect for your wife & family . Any and All Cricket or Sports journalist if you want to collect genuine love and blessings, look none other than Harsha Bhogle. I suggest an episode 2 where there are no preparee questions but Harsha is allowed to share hisstory in his own words at his own Pace, " how the hell he did it" Great initiative, job well done!
Just listen to Harsha Bhogle with all ears and closed eyes. He started with a radio and still telling cricket stories. I also wish, your wish is fulfilled of being a commentator while India wins the world cup. Thank you, Mr. Voice of Cricket!
amazing interview, just love this man's commentory......did not realise if words were coming out of Harsha or Harsha was coming out from the words he spoke....part of Sachin's success is cos of this man too.....
Harsha is one and only ..... youth respects and admire you alot .... you were, are and will be relevant ....
He is so awesome.. always love listening to him
Tony Greig might have elevated Sachin to next level, but Harsha lines on Sachin is memory for every Tendulkar fan
I'm a Sri Lankan and I absolutely love and respect Harsha Bhai. Witty, charismatic, extremely knowledgeable about the game, and such a interesting man to listen to. He's not just the voice of cricket in India but also the voice of cricket in the world of cricket as a whole, and throughout my childhood. Him along with the late Tony Grieg are legends to this day and loved cricket as a whole!
You're a Sri Lankan and using "Bhai"?
🧐
@@defenderofjustice3435 Lol! Whats your point?
@@abbathahzan I don’t think any Sri Lankan knows any Hindi 😂
Harsha at it best.. Loads of Respect 🫡 to this guy.. Sachin and Harsha combo always stayed with my childhood and my life

Excellent, Karishma, behind this talk, brings out the Glory of his Life Experiences. Your questions, interaction gives inspiration to all. Thank you.
MS Dhoni and his quotes are the best life learnings.
Loved it absolutely..It was first of it's kind. Thank Ypu so much for doing this
I can hear Harsha all day all night. He was meant to be a beautiful narrator of this absolutely fantastic game. Preveliged to listen him since my childhood and now. Hope he just goes on and on...
Just just amazing... Harsha sir!! So much to learn from him...
Its always fantastic to hear HARSHA say something
Fantastic Magazine...Harsha narrated so many beautiful memories about his growth,hobbies,his relationship with cricketers and his acceptance as one of Best commentator across the world .Great
I admire this gentleman, since when i first listened to his commentry. And the way he exaggerates, things, without playing cricket❤️❤️❤️.
Excellent Interview. Love to hear Harsha always
The way harsha supported the mediocre interviewer.. says a lot about him.. but that was an awsum interview
What an amazing interview and the man who was interviewed! The reason he is who he is, he never lost his love for commentary and did with full integrity. Money was never in his mind. My prayers and blessings to him and his family.
I can listen to this conversation all day along ❤️
It is always refreshing to watch Harsha and his words.

When Harsha Speaks It Looks He Is Lost In His Own Perfection ❤️🔥.
One of the best conversations, Masterpiece!
