counting the occurence of particular characters

I want to list the occurence of particular characters in a line. my file looks like this

a,b,c,d
e,f,g
h,y:e,g,y s
f;g,s,w

and I want to count how many commas are in each line so the file in the end looks like this:

a,b,c,d 3
e,f,g 2
h,y:e,g,y s 3
f;g,s,w 2

I need the lines to stay in tact because at the end I need to be able to print the line with the greatest number of commas

Thankyou in advance!
