More than IPL, IPL commentary has been really enjoyable.. Especially the induction of Ramiz Raja has proved to be very good .. Danny Morrison has always been the guy who talks foolishly and famously coined the word DLFer for a six .. Ravi Shastri too is adding on to it.. Poor Sunny is left behind, doesn't call six a DLF maximum and doesn't spot the CITI moment of successes and that is the reason we get to hear so less of him.. Refer previous post for more
funny quotes..
