Aakash Chopra who is an Indian cricket commentator and former cricketer who played for the Indian cricket team from late 2003 until late 2004 as a defensive opening batsman and close catcher in Test matches.<\/p>\n
One of the many openers tried by India to balance out the charisma of one Virender Sehwag at the other end, Aakash Chopra was a classical opener. The baits batsman sent in to play out the new ball and dead-beat the shine off it to make life easier for the emperors of batting in the middle-order.<\/p>\n
The stoic opener was also signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the inaugural IPL of 2008. After failing to perform with the bat in a youth-dominated league, Chopra figured that this wasn\u2019t his cup of tea, and retired from all forms of cricket. He is now a well-known critic, commentator, and author as he continues to spread his knowledge of the game.<\/p>\n
Mumbai\u2019s Wankhede stadiums North Stand Gang Wished Chopra by tweeting a special message \u201c#NSGRemembers when India were desperately seeking for an opener we found Aakash Chopra who had a technique perfectly suited to occupation of the crease & seeing the shine off the leather. He was kind to meet up with us in Pune and we gifted him our Tshirt & he signed one as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
