The Hindi commentary panel for IPL 2025 is facing backlash from fans due to its perceived lack of quality.
Social media platforms are flooded with complaints about forced rhyming, excessive poetry, and off-topic anecdotes, frustrating viewers who seek insightful analysis of the matches. Even former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has acknowledged the criticism and promised improvements.
Fans argue that English commentators focus on technical analyses, while the Hindi panel often diverges into irrelevant discussions, impacting both viewers and aspiring cricketers who want to learn from experts. Critics are urging broadcasters to take accountability for the standards of commentary and make significant changes to meet viewer expectations.
The campaign reflects fans’ desire for high-quality commentary in IPL, which is often touted as a unifying national festival. With record-breaking broadcast deals at stake, improving commentary standards could demonstrate broadcasters’ commitment to enhancing the viewer experience.
