Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra, frequently, makes news for his contentious remarks and distinctive analysis style. He has a pretty attractive manner of using idioms and proverbs when he is commenting. Even if the game is moving slowly, Aakash's commentary keeps the audience from getting bored.
Meanwhile, the cricketer-turned-commentator also remains active on his YouTube Channel and uploads videos almost every day. As the IPL fever is all over the world, Chopra decided to make predictions ahead of every game. However, he is getting brutally trolled on social media because most of his predictions go wrong.
His latest prediction came in the Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings clash in which he predicted that CSK would win the match. But that didn't happen as RR defeated CSK by 3 runs to register their 3rd win of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League.

No one even comes close to him: Aakash Chopra on Jos Buttler
Meanwhile, Chopra, after the match, heaped praise on RR's destructive opener Jos Buttler for his consistent performance in the tournament so far as the star English batter smashed another half-century and is on the 3rd spot in the orange cap winner list. Chopra mentioned that Buttler can smash a bowler whenever he wants to and no one even comes close to him when we talk about the consistency.
"Yashasvi Jaiswal got out early but Jos Buttler - what an amazing player he is. No one understands this game's DNA better than him. When you see him play, it seems he plays a slightly high-risk cricket, but there is no doubt, in my mind at least, isn't he the best T20 batter in the world." Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.
"No one even comes close to him, the consistency with which the guy scores runs. He hits whenever he wants and chooses his prey - whom to hit and whom to play carefully. When he is playing, the law of averages is also left behind." he said.
Here's how fans reacted to Chopra's prediction:
