WHICH TEAM WINS the 2023 TATA IPL (Indian Premier League) will be known only on May 28, but we already have another winner - Bhojpuri commentary. What's not to love when the action on the field is matched by cracking lines from the commentary box. Like, when a beamer elicits an "Ee kaa ho...muhva fodbe ka?" (What was that? It could have broken the batter's face?") from the commentator, or "Phir umpire Shahrukh Khan waale pose mein" for a wide ball.
And, the viewers are lapping it up. A scroll through social media and users' reactions is enough to reflect that this new addition to the IPL has been a hit among fans."Watching cricket since the mid1980s, why have the broadcasters not thought of Bhojpuri commentary before? I feel cheated," wrote author and cricket historian Abhishek Mukherjee."Bhojpuri IPL commentary on Jio Cinema is a vibe," wrote another Twitter user. "English and Hindi can fight for 2nd spot because Bhojpuri commentary is already GOATed," wrote another.
"The crisp one-liners and witty observations have definitely struck a chord with the viewers, and I couldn't be happier," said member of Parliament Ravi Kishan, one of the Bhojpuri commentators who are carving a distinct fanbase for themselves. "I am thrilled with the overwhelming response from the audience," he told FE.
