Bhogle is one of the few successful celebrity sports announcers in India. He has made a name for himself, and there are several venues from which he makes money.

At last count, he charged more than $4000 for commenting on one match. And for a series, he would charge anything from $35000 to $40000.

The amounts are not counting the various book deals and promotional deals that he has going on. For example, currently, he’s signed up with a company that sells hygiene products for a promotional series about fighting Covid is the only way that we can, by staying at home and taking precautions when we are outside.

We haven’t seen  Bhogle in several ads, so there’s no information about whether he makes money via promotions and commercials. But of course, there’s every chance that he does have tie-ups for such commercials. If and when Harsha signs up with such a company and the ad runs live, we will have information about how much he earns. He made the rare movie appearance in the 2017 movie, Hattrick.

Hasha Bhogle has a storied career and has been devoid of controversies, mostly. For a person covering sports entertainment for decades, this in itself is a matter of pride. However, he did have some spats now and then.

The BCCI removed him from their list of commentators after some said he criticized Indian cricketers more than necessary. In 2016, his IPL contract faced termination. Though there was never an announcement of the official reason, rumour said that it emanated from an incident that occurred between Bhogle and a senior cricket official from Nagpur.

Harsha  had another tiff with Sanjay Manjrekar during the first Day-Night test between India and Bangladesh. When Bhogle commented about the visibility of the pink ball, Manjrekar retorted that only someone who hasn’t played cricket at that level would ask something like this. He and his wife run Prosearch, a sports-based communication consultancy agency.

But leaving these issues, Bhogle has always been spoken of warmly by his cricketing contemporaries. Sachin Tendulkar has said that talking cricket with Bhogle is a learning experience, and he speaks about cricket with a whole new perspective.
