Aside from the debut of two new teams, the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will introduce Gujarati commentary for the first time since the cash-rich tournament started. This move has been taken following the launch of Gujarat Lions, one of the two new IPL 2022 teams. This year’s IPL will also include commentary in Bengali and Malayalam on the weekends.
“We all want to show how this IPL is different from the previous 14 and what is new in it.
