Sports Broadcasting is the most incredible profession to be in and over the last 2 decades I’ve had the privilege of hosting and commentating on the most iconic global sporting events across TV and Digital networks! Very grateful for the journey thus far and looking forward to the ride ahead!

Awesome! Well done, Skyroot!

There’s so much good happening in India! 🇮🇳

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

One of two things will certainly end - a cricketer’s career OR a journalist’s credibility.

I hope what is being reported is not true.
The cricketing debate of it is a separate one but if this news is true, India really needs to relearn how to say goodbye to its greats!

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Commentating on fast paced and tactically layered sports like football and volleyball is very good for cognitive health! And I’ve had a lot of fun working on the FIFA WC broadcast over the last 35 days on @unite8sports and @ZEE5India!

2 more match days to go!

A brilliantly accurate dissection of England’s self-destruction. Every word is spot on.

This was…. “Achcha beta? Ab tu dekh….”

He woke the beast
Big mistake 💀

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Genius! 😍

Before @Keir_Starmer leaves office, he needs to bring in a new law - Ban the words “It’s coming home”. @England @EnglandFootball

It’s their “Ee Sala Cup Namde”!

Matt bolo toh apne aap aayegi trophy! Kripa wahin atki hui hai!

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

England choke in the big games. It’s the truth. Accept it. @England

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Why were England so scared today even after leading?! Bizarre! Opened the door for Argentina! 🙈🤷🏻‍♂️🤯

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

@THEGRAVITY27 My job is to say it as I see it!

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Hahaha! Tathastu!

Had to! A perfect campaign ended by one bad outing!

Also, CWC23is a personal scar!

[Arun Dixit @diarun_002]

In the 77-78th min of the semi final the philosophy of having a bad day in group matches was reincarnated by @manishbatavia and the very apt example of India’s ‘23 WC campaign was mentioned on Hindi Commentary. No escape 🥲 @ZEE5India

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

@_navigator09 Beta, both can be entirely justifiable opinions no? Ever heard of giving credit where it’s due.

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

@reddrogo345 And that means there are no agendas. Credit where it’s due, always.

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Very proactive captaincy from Shubman Gill today!

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

I quite enjoy watching ODIs if the commentary is top notch! DK, Nasser, Atherton have been very good to listen to today! The issue perhaps is not so much the format but HOW the format is being packaged and presented.

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Haha! ❤️

Happy Birthday to one of the coolest I’ve ever worked with - the great SMG!
This picture was taken at the Chinnaswamy stadium after a big RCB win in IPL 2011 when I was Venue Producer for Extraaa Innings T20 on Sony Max!

[Manish Batavia @manishbatavia]

Haha! No no. Thoda zyada ho gaya. He’s been working since 1975. Mine is just 20 years so far. 🙏🏻
