Commentary is an integral part of any sporting event that not just keeps the viewer involved but also provides them with important developments of the game. In a significant development, Star Sports, the official broadcasters of the Indian Premier League fifteenth edition on Tuesday revealed IPL 2022 Commentators.
Commentators are responsible for analysing the game in a simpler way capable of being understood by the audience. Moreover, they also keep them updated with the match incidents during the game. Some of the best commentators in the business engage in banters amongst themselves. They also have some cheeky conversations with the players on the field.
