Start Sports, the official broadcaster of the league, has announced on Sunday the list of commentators for IPL 2020 scheduled to take place in UAE from September 19.
Sanjay Manjrekar has not been included in the list of commentators. His appointment as a commentator has been in controversy since his fallout with Ravindra Jadeja during 2019 World Cup.
Veterans Sunil Gavaskar, Ian Bishop, Harsha Bhogle and others are set to share their views on the game during IPL.
Star Sports also named a separate panel for Hindi and other languages. The star-studded panel also includes Mark Nicholas, who now mostly commentates in the home matches of South Africa. JP Duminy, who played for few franchises and also led Delhi Capitals, is also part of the panel.
Lisa Sthalekar and Anjum Chopra are two women commentators on the list. Sthalekar, an ICC Hall of Famer, has been part of IPL commentary panel in past. Chopra, the former India captain, is considered as the voice of women's cricket in India.
Gavaskar, 71, will be traveling to UAE for the league. The likes of Brett Lee, Dean Jones, Brian Lara, Graeme Swann and Scott Styris will be calling the game from Mumbai. The dugout commentators focus more on various aspects of the game and they analyse every point in detail.
Former India chief selectors Kris Srikkanth and MSK Prasad will be commentating in Tamil and Telugu, respectively. Former India assistant coach Sanjay Bangar is part of the Hindi commentary team.
