A man in the video can be heard speaking fluent Sanskrit and doing cricket commentary.
If you are a cricket fan, there is nothing more exciting than watching the team you support, play an enthralling match! But, what really adds more to this excitement is the commentary behind the match. Without a voice to accompany it, the visual allure of a match is only somewhat as powerful. Commentary has been essential to involve fans in matches and also educate them about statistics and trivia. A knowledgeable commentator has always captured the attention and made an impression on listeners! Until now, we have heard commentary in either Hindi or English, but have you ever wondered what a commentary would sound like in Sanskrit?
