'Coaching Pakistan is such a tough job that Waqar preferred to listen to Sidhu': Twitter trolls Navjot Sidhu after Mumbai-Pune IPL 2016 game

Saturday's IPL 2016 opener was marred by several problems. The least of these was a tacky looking scoreboard that left you trying to locate the score, the number of overs, who's batting or just got out, and so on.

But there were other, more pressing problems. One was the noise created by overlapping English, Hindi and Telugu commentary. The second was Navjot Singh Sidhu's obnoxious commentary.

Sidhu's commentary has always ranged from the funny to the cringeworthy, but on Saturday it was especially unbearable. Needless, to say, Sidhu was trending on Twitter for the wrong reasons.

Plain and simple, ask him to be quiet.

Someone tell Sidhu that this isn't comedy nights. Ask him to shut up for heaven's sake!#IPL #OhGuruMatHoShuru@Trendulkar @sureshnmenon

 Mark Antony provided a solution but it wasn't available for us poor souls here on the newsdesk.

Dhileep was feeling the pressure.

My TV volume is at the lowest audible level. And I'm wearing a heaset.
But still, I can hear Sidhu squeal at everything.#IPL2016

Rajiv takes a potshot at a certain news anchor, lumping him in with Sidhu.

Sidhu's and arnab's voice can pierce through noise cancelling headsets.Headset companies should come up with Sidhu and Arnab resistent range

 Amit Varma is very kind to give us an example of a Sidhuism.

'It's a paranormal kind of job.' -- Sidhu on Pune's win, shifting to English for post-match analysis.

 Laxman is spot on. I feel you bro.

Shastri in the com-box and Sidhu in the extra innings panel - Reason ipl repels me.

 Ya, Anurag may have a few words to say about that. Or more.

Navjot Singh Sidhu today introduced BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur as :
"Gore Chitte Chamchamate Chiknyaa"!!
WTF was that ?!?#MIvRPS

Zubair has an interesting perspective.

Coaching Pakistan is such a tough job that Waqar Younis preferred
to listen to Sidhu for 2 months instead of continuing as Pakistan
coach.
