Though there is a lot of speculation behind the reasons for his removal, Bhogle has claimed that he hasn't been told why he was ousted.

Cricket fans have been trending hashtags in support of Bhogle, urging the BCCI to put him back on air.

"I still don't know why I am not doing the IPL. I haven't been told. I can accept the fact that people don't like me. But I genuinely hope it isn't because cricketers have complained about what I have to say," Bhogle wrote.

"I tell every young cricketer who cares to listen that we will never agree on everything but I will always desire that they do well; that I cannot stop them from scoring a run, or taking a wicket or holding a catch," he added.
