Narration in Bhojpuri, Punjabi huge hit with fans

This IPL winner comes from the commentary box

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.
