"Dhoni finishes off in style. A magnificent strike into the crowd! India lift the World Cup after 28 years." "He's got it. England have won the World Cup by the barest of margins."

However, he was never quite a popular figure in world cricket. That has changed since he joined the commentary box. With the mic in hand, Danny is entertaining and joyful. His wisecracks have won him plenty of admirers, especially during the IPL. His presence in the commentary box these days is more or less entertainment guaranteed.
