Former Indian cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu has shared a glimpse of his visit to Jaipur. The cricket personality posted a simple update on Instagram with just the caption “Jaipur 🙏” suggesting his presence in Rajasthan’s capital city, likely as part of his ongoing cricket commentary commitments during the IPL 2025 season.

Sidhu’s IPL 2025 Commentary Journey
Sidhu has been actively sharing cricket insights throughout the ongoing Indian Premier League season. His Instagram feed has transformed into a cricket commentary platform, featuring analytical posts about various IPL teams and players. The former Punjab cricketer has been traveling to different cricket venues across the country, with Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium being one of the important IPL venues as home to Rajasthan Royals.
In his recent social media posts, he has been offering expert opinions on team performances and individual players. Just before his Jaipur post, Sidhu shared insights about “The unpredictable IPL” featuring KL Rahul and Delhi Capitals players. He has been particularly expressive about standout performances, referring to Rohit Sharma as “Mumbai ka Raja” and Virat Kohli as “Emperor Kohli” in separate posts.
The Commentator’s Cricket Journey
Navjot Singh Sidhu, known for his flamboyant commentary style and distinctive one-liners, has maintained a strong connection with cricket even after his playing days. Sidhu represented India in 51 Test matches and 136 One Day Internationals between 1983 and 1999. After retiring from cricket, he transitioned into commentary and television appearances, becoming famous for his unique style of expression and cricket insights.
His commentary is characterized by colorful metaphors and sayings that have become known as “Sidhuisms” among cricket fans. During IPL 2025, he has continued this tradition with posts featuring lines like “Choti umar bade karname” (small age, big achievements) when discussing young talents, and “Jaise namak bina daal, waise dost bina zindagi” (like lentils without salt, so is life without friends).
Cricket Analysis And Player Appreciation
Through his recent Instagram activity, Sidhu has shared keen observations about IPL 2025 performances. He praised Shubman Gill as “the bright future of Indian Cricket” and highlighted the “winning spree of Mumbai Indians” as a spark that has “further ignited the IPL.”
In one particularly insightful post, Sidhu noted: “Experience gives you the test first and then the lesson… Starc, Stubbs & KL Rahul made their experience count when it mattered the most.” This kind of analysis showcases his deep understanding of cricket’s mental aspects and the importance of experience in crucial match situations.
He’s also shown appreciation for Punjab Kings, his home state’s IPL team, commenting that the “Team Punjab emerging under the dynamic Shreya’s – hope springs eternal from every Punjabi’s chest,” referring to the team’s captain Shreyas Iyer.
Beyond Cricket
While cricket remains his primary focus during IPL season, Sidhu has also engaged with fans through lighter content. In a recent sponsored post titled “SuperSidhu,” he featured in an animated series showing the lighter side of his personality. Another post humorously stated, “Sasurji ke bouncer, Damad ke six 🏏Sidhu batayega kaise Jeevansathi pe hua rishta hua fix!” referring to a matrimonial advertisement featuring his characteristic humor.
Sidhu’s visit to Jaipur adds another destination to his IPL 2025 journey, where he continues to combine his cricket expertise with his unique commentary style that has made him a household name in Indian cricket broadcasting over the years.
As IPL 2025 progresses, cricket fans can expect more insights and characteristic expressions from the former cricketer as he travels across India’s cricket venues, bringing his distinctive perspective to the tournament.
