Indian Premier League (IPL) is poised to commence its highly anticipated 17th edition on March 22 (Friday), kicking off with a marquee clash between defending champions and five-time winners, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai.
Similar to last season, in India, the live action of IPL matches will be broadcasted by two different providers. Star Sports Network will offer coverage on TV, while Jio Cinema will cater to the online audience. This arrangement has sparked curiosity among fans about who will be the commentators for the two providers.
Jio Cinema and Star Sports Network have unveiled their commentary panel for the coverage spanning from March 22 to May 26. The panel comprises former IPL stars and analysts who have previously provided commentary in recent editions of the tournament.
