Criticism has erupted against Bhojpuri commentators for their use of vulgar language during the SRH-KKR IPL 2024 match, as a video clip capturing the incident went viral.
The commentators came under fire after viewers expressed their dismay over the inappropriate language used during a widely watched event like the Indian Premier League (IPL). One concerned viewer remarked, “This commentator must be sacked!! IPL is something mostly all family members watch on…dinner table!” while another echoed the sentiment, labeling the commentary as “utterly disgusting.” A call for action was also made, with a comment asserting, “A case of spreading obscenity should be registered against him.”
The incident has sparked a debate about the responsibility of commentators to maintain decorum and uphold the family-friendly nature of sports broadcasts. It has also raised questions about the screening process for commentators and the measures in place to ensure that such lapses do not occur in the future.
As the IPL continues to captivate audiences across the globe, the uproar over the use of vulgar language by Bhojpuri commentators serves as a reminder of the importance of professionalism and respect for viewers of all ages. It remains to be seen how the IPL governing body and the concerned parties will address this issue and prevent similar occurrences moving forward.
