The former Delhi opener has since moved to commentary where he has achieved much more success and is touted as one of the more knowledgeable pundits these days. Some trolls however, question his ability to impart knowledge on the game considering his rather below average stats.
However, Chopra has on more than one occasion showed that he has a brain worth picking even by the mega stars of the game who would do well to pay attention to him sometimes.
Aakash Chopra is currently one of the commentators, commentating on the Series between India and South Africa. The matches are being aired by Star Sports who shared a rather humorous video of Chopra playing cricket gully cricket style with the rest of the team during the ongoing series.
