He recently inaugurated his channel Navjot Sidhu Official from Amritsar, where he plans to share clips from his life besides the glamorous front. And what more?

This is not a complete cricketer-turned-YouTuber thing. Sidhu, however, hopes to have some fun too with many dressing-room stories and spiritual insights, maybe with a classic Sidhu-Sidhu quote flying…
