Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan has become a social media favourite after his hilarious commentary during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 opening match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, on March 31. Jio Cinemas, IPL’s digital partner, has hired around 120 commentators so that the fans can enjoy the league in 12 different languages.

The 16th edition of the IPL is streaming in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bengali, as well as the new additions of Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Oriya, Kannada, Marathi and Gujarati. Cricket fans loved this initiative but amongst all, Bhojpuri commentary has left the internet in splits.

Kishan made some comical remarks that have gone viral on social media and the fans say that they do not want to watch the tournament in any other language. A fan wrote that his commentary is funnier than most stand-up acts. His phrases like ‘Anghoota tod bowling’ and ‘Ee ka ho, munh ha phod be ka?’ (What was that? It could have broken the batsman’s face!) have made the fans cry laughing.

Here are some of the reactions:

The National Cricket Academy awarded the Lucknow Super Giants skipper the fitness certificate in Bengaluru and will join the team in 2 days. The Lucknow Super Giants will start their campaign against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Sunday.

He went through his rehabilitation and the National Cricket Academy has declared him fit. But he has been advised not to take up the role of wicket-keeping immediately. Rahul complained of pain in the quadriceps after the Hyderabad Test match and was later ruled out from the rest of the series against England which got over recently.

The BCCI had initially claimed that KL Rahul has reached 90% match fitness and he is making steady progress under the supervision of the BCCI medical team. Later it was decided that they should consult a specialist in England. As a result Rahul went abroad to England for an expert opinion.

Shreyas Iyer who had missed out the last 2 days of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy finals due to back issues had also been declared fit to play the IPL  but on a condition. The Kolkata Knight Riders captain has been advised that he cannot lunge too much while playing the forward defense as this may worsen his injury.

According to reports Shreyas Iyer visited a spine specialist in Mumbai after getting consultation from the National Cricket Academy (Bangalore). The doctor has advised him fit to play but he should take precaution and needs to be cautious while stretching his leg.
