During an interview with The Grade Cricketer podcast, Bhogle revealed that his mother's family was originally from Lahore and she migrated to India as a child during the partition, in the middle of 1947.

He then joined an advertising agency for which he worked for two and a half years, following which he served at a sports management company for an equal period.

Early on, Bhogle played A Div cricket in Hyderabad and represented Osmania University at the Rohinton Baria Tournament.

Since 1995, he has been presenting live cricket from all around the world for ESPN STAR Sports and was part of the commentary team that included Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar, and Alan Wilkins along with Geoff Boycott and Navjot Singh Sidhu, for a few seasons, and later, Ian Chappell and Sanjay Manjrekar.

No official reason was given, but according to media reports, it was due to a combination of factors including criticism from Indian players and an incident during the opening game of the T20 World Cup where Bhogle's access between Hindi and English commentary boxes was restricted.

[4] Bhogle was voted the favourite TV cricket commentator by ESPNcricinfo users based on a worldwide poll.

[6] Bhogle has published and authored a number of books, including a biography of Mohammad Azharuddin and a collection of columns in The Indian Express, Out of the Box – Watching the Game We Love and is also a columnist for the Chennai-based "The Sportstar" a subsidiary of The Hindu group of Publications under the title "Hitting Hard" by Bhogle.

In the 2011 World Cup held in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, he anchored the pre and post match shows that featured Simon Hughes, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Sunil Gavaskar, Tony Greig and Sourav Ganguly.

The show takes the viewers back in time to make them relive cricketing memories from the past.

The decision came as a surprise for the voice of Indian cricket since he had conducted the Season 9 draft auction, featured in the league's promotional videos, was in the commentators’ 51-day-long duty roster, and even had his flight booked by the production house.

[16] Bhogle is married to Anita,[17] his classmate from IIM Ahmedabad, and they live in Mumbai with their two adult sons.
