New Delhi [India]: A galaxy of superstars are lined up as expert commentators for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 which gets underway on March 22. On Wednesday host broadcaster JioCinema unveiled new additions to their line-up for the 17th edition of the tournament.
The 17th season of the IPL will be available in 12 languages, English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, with Haryanvi making its debut.
Former India opener Virender Sehwag will headline the newly introduced Haryanvi language presentation. Meanwhile, former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja will make his debut as a Gujarati language expert.
Former Australia cricketer Shane Watson and former New Zealand coach and Director of Cricket at Royal Challengers Bangalore Mike Hesson, Sehwag, and Jadeja will also give the fans inside access to the dressing rooms of the IPL franchisees.
After playing for the Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab, Sehwag took on a mentor's role with the Punjab franchise. On the other hand, the player of the match in the 2012 IPL Final, Manvinder Bisla, will also join Sehwag in the Haryanvi feed.
After winning IPL titles with the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, Watson continues his journey in the IPL. He won Player of the Tournament in the inaugural season with the Royals while his match-winning 117* for CSK in the 2018 Final against Sunrisers Hyderabad has gone down as one of the best knocks ever in the IPL.
