Fan asks Harsha Bhogle to "Boycott Uber"; commentator gives classy reply

One of the most respected and followed cricket commentators in India, Harsha Bhogle recently shared his ordeal on Twitter involving the ride-service app Uber India.

Widely regarded as the "Voice of Cricket" in the world, Bhogle slammed the taxi-hailing app Uber India and alleged that one of Uber's drivers actually told him that they never go to pre-booked bookings, which left him fuming.

Bhogle claimed in a couple of tweets that despite his best efforts to stay calm and refrain from expressing his anguish on social media, he was left with no option because Uber India showed "indifference and callousness" even after he sent many messages to the company. He further said that he was still waiting for a reply from Uber India.


The veteran cricket expert highlighted how he pre-booked a cab which never came and left him with a not so memorable experience.

“Try as far as possible not to rant on Twitter but I’ve been left with no option by the indifference and callousness of @Uber_India and @UberINSupport. Sent many DMs and got a reply that would show them in poor light. Still waiting for them to address my issue. So bear with me pls,” Harsha Bhogle tweeted.



In his second tweet, Harsha Bhogle blasted Uber India and asserted that his pre-booked cab never arrived and when he booked another ride one of the Uber’s drivers told him that they “never go to pre-booked bookings.” He wrote:

“I had heard that @Uber_India was plumbing new depths. Experienced today. Pre-booked an Uber, never turned up. Booked another and the new driver casually says we never go to pre-booked bookings. No accountability. @UberINSupport.”



Bhogle further said that his ordeal continued once his Uber cab arrived. He tweeted:

“New car turns up. Can’t put on seat belt because the upholstery has covered it. And we thought multinational brands maintained standards. @Uber @Uber_India @Uber_Support @UberINSupport. Only just made my flight eventually.”



Despite having a terrible experience, Harsha Bhogle decided not to boycott the app, as he revealed his intention after being asked by a fan to ‘Boycott Uber’. The much admired cricket expert floored the netizens with his classy reply.

“No, not getting there,” the veteran commentator replied.
