Jatin Sapru is an Indian sports journalist, television host, broadcaster and cricket commentator who works for Star Sports network. He left engineering and did a Journalism course which eventually landed him in the industry, having fascinated the likes of ESPN and Star.[2][3][4][5]

Early life[]

Sapru was born in a Kashmiri Pandit family.[6][7] His grandfather was a Vice Principal in Kashmir University and father was an engineer.[7] In 1990, his family along with other Hindu families in the region had to flee from Kashmir valley to Delhi as a result of being targeted by JKLF and Islamist insurgents during late 1989 and early 1990, the event which is infamously known as the Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus.[7][8][circular reference]
