The english and hindi commentary has taken the back seat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as the newly introduced Bhojpuri commentary is driving everyone crazy with its fun-filled spice which has only added flavour to the glitzy league's extravaganza. The cricket fans are over Ravi Shastri, Akash Chopra and Virender Sehwag's commentary as popular actor Ravi Kishan is the new sensation in the commentary box. Internet is already exploding with the Bhojpuri tadka in the IPL 2023.
After breaking the internet on IPL 2023 opener between CSK and GT on March 31, Ravi Kishan once again set the social media on fire with his Bhojpuri commentary during Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match on April 1.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa put up a show with the bat as he struck a brilliant 50 off 32 riding on five fours and two sixes. Rajapaksa launched a ball straight into the air that cleared the fence which Ravi Kishan described in his own way.
"Dhandhanaat Dhandhanaat Rajapaksa to badi sanki player baa. Hayi dekhi e to pher niklal bade, ae baari e to bada lamba marle bade. Hayi ball to stadium ke bahre giri, hayi chhakka. Baap re e to garda baa ho, e chhakka naa baa e to garda baa. Ek dum marnaa ganda seedhe. (Rajapaksa is a beast. Look at this, he has struck the ball so hard that it will land outside the stadium. It's a monstrous six. This is unbelievable. Rajapaksa has hammered the ball straight into the stands.
