A few cricketers played less but speak more about it. Aakash Chopra is one of them. Apart from being at the non-striker’s end when Sehwag scored a triple ton against Pakistan, Aakash Chopra has hardly had any memorable moment in his playing career.
Aakash Chopra though has now had a change in his fortunes after joining Star Sports’ commentary team. He has been appreciated by many for his expert comments and analysed reviews of the loved game. He keeps people connected to the game through his engaging match reports. He has managed to make inroads into the hearts of Indian fans.
His knowledge of the game has earned him quite a few followers on social networking sites like twitter too. People like to have a word from him to satisfy their varied curiosity regarding cricket and cricketers. Aakash, being the expert he is nowadays, interacts with his followers and replies their queries too.
However, Aakash has more than often landed himself in trouble for being too vocal on the social network. In a recent such incident, the former Indian opener has landed himself in a spot of bother again. A fan of him asked Aakash what he made of the neighbouring opponents Bangladesh who were touring India to play a test match for the first time.
Aakash Chopra didn’t bother to give his view a second thought and stated Bangladesh to be a better side than the mighty Australians. As it should had been, Aakash received a single rely from Dean Jones that completely made Aakash speechless. Have a look at the complete banter below.
This sweet little appreciation of Bangladesh was where it all started from!
Count Bangladesh out at your own peril. This could be more exciting than we all might think. What's your take? @cricketaakash #IndvsBan

Aakash went a step ahead to appreciate India’s latest opponents and compared them to the mighty Australians
I'm expecting Bangladesh to be more competitive than Australia in these conditions. If this explains 😊😉 @StarSportsIndia https://t.co/LMR5UeJNpi

This uncanny comparison from Aakash Chopra didn’t go down well with Australian legend Dean Jones. He slammed Aakash with the simplest possible warning!
Be afraid Aakash… be very afraid… https://t.co/GfdOip3w80

Given Australia’s inhuman demolition of Pakistan recently, it was indeed a far fetched statement from Aakash Chopra. We hope that India continue their fine form against Australia too and give some reason for Aakash to smile again.
