Veteran cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has clarified his absence from the IPL 2025 match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at Eden Gardens, following recent reports suggesting a ban due to his previous remarks on the pitch conditions.

In response to speculation, Bhogle took to social media to express his surprise, stating that he had not been informed of any such ban. He emphasized that his absence was due to prior commitments and not any disciplinary action. Bhogle has been a prominent voice in cricket commentary for decades and has previously faced scrutiny over his candid assessments of match conditions.

The incident has sparked discussions among fans and media, with many expressing support for Bhogle and questioning the transparency of the decision-making process regarding commentary assignments. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to release an official statement addressing the matter.

As the IPL 2025 season progresses, stakeholders and fans alike await further clarifications on the criteria for commentator selections and the policies governing such decisions.
