The stage is set for popular former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu to make a grand comeback to commentary and broadcasting via the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), starting March 22. 

The famous Sardar from Punjab has joined broadcasters Star Sports' "Incredible Starcast" and assigned commentary duties for the looming iteration of the annual T20 carnival, where he will be entertaining fans with his inimitable style and great one-liners behind the mic. 

Sidhu, who was last seen doing commentary for Star Sports in 2013-14 before doing television entertainment work with famous comedian Kapil Sharma and then resuming his political career, had been with his ailing wife as she recovered from her battle with cancer in the last two years.

Before he joined broadcasting and politics, Sidhu was an integral part of the senior Indian team at the international stage. In a career spanning 15 years from 1983 to 1998, the extravagant right-hander played 51 Tests and 136 ODIs for the country. 

Sidhu was renowned for his attacking approach at the top of the order and blazed 4,413 runs in One-Day Internationals at a strike-rate of 70, apart from scoring 3,202 runs in Tests at an average of 42.13, including 9 hundreds and 13 fifties. 

He was part of the 1996 Indian World Cup side that reached the semifinal of the tournament and produced a swashbuckling knock of 93 in the quarterfinal clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in Bangalore.
