New Delhi: Popular cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle on Tuesday schooled Republic TV for posting ‘Untrue’ news about him and sharing it through their official handle on social media site Twitter.

Republic in a Twitter post shared a news link of their website which had stated that Harsha Bhogle was “snubbed” from the panel of commentators that will commentate in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final. The historic match will be played between India and New Zealand at the Lord's ground starting June 18.

The caption of the tweet added “Ind vs NZ WTC Final: Sunil Gavaskar, Dinesh Karthik to commentate, Harsha Bhogle snubbed #WTC2021”.

Replying to the tweet from Republic, Harsha wrote “Do you want to delete this? Because it is untrue. Or are you comfortable with that?”

Earlier in another tweet, Harsha Bhogle had explained why he had “regretfully pull out” from the commentating duties in the match. He had reasoned hectic quarantine and bubbles rules for not being part of the commentating panel.
