    Digital desk: The official broadcaster of the 2024 TATA Indian Premier League (IPL), JioCinema, is going all out to give its fans an immersive experience as the hype for the competition grows. 

    The most popular athletic event in India will be broadcast in 12 different languages this year, including Haryanvi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, and Punjabi.

    "The response we got for our deep and wide presentation of the TATA IPL 2023 was heartening, and we are doubling down on our innovations and initiatives for TATA IPL 2024," said Siddharth Sharma, Viacom18 Sports Head of Content, expressing his excitement for the upcoming IPL season. 

    The debut appearance of Virender Sehwag, one of the most potent openers in history, is among the show's highlights. The former cricketer will be the main attraction of the Haryanavi language program, where viewers can expect to see him at his most humorous in his own tongue. 

    In the Haryanvi broadcast, Manvinder Bisla—the 2012 IPL Final's man of the match—will also appear with Sehwag. As a Gujarati language specialist, Ajay Jadeja will also make his debut. The MI Emirates batting coach and former captain of India will also be featured on Hindi and Hangout broadcasts. 

    The renowned cricket player Jhulan Goswami will join Subhomoy Das, Shreevats Goswami, and Anustup Majumdar in the Bengali commentary box. With accurate analysis and perceptive commentary, they will keep the Bengali-speaking audience riveted to their TVs throughout every play. 

    Renowned actor and politician Ravi Kishan will spearhead the Bhojpuri section alongside Mohd Saif, Shivam Singh, Satya Prakash, and Gulam Hussain, among others. As they described the game, their lively and dynamic commentary is anticipated to capture the hearts of Bhojpuri-speaking fans all around the world and express the enthusiasm of Bhojpuri culture. 

    Hanuma Vihari, Venkatapathy Raju, and Akshath Reddy, among others, made together a strong Telegu squad. Their proficient interpretation of regional flavor will enhance the show and make Telegu-speaking viewers feel comfortable.

    It is anticipated that these varied groups of pundits would work together to create a vivid picture of the matches, bridging language gaps and bringing together supporters from all walks of life. 

    The official broadcaster will provide a total of 18 feeds this year, including the highly-liked Insiders and Hangout feeds from last year in addition to newly added features like Hero Cam and Viral Weekend. This is in addition to the star-studded expert panel. 

    JioCinema wants to promote interesting discussions and humor on the largest sports proposition in the nation, and more than 100 well-known social media content creators have joined the debate. 

    Cricket fans can anticipate an incredible spectacle, with every match promising to be an immersive and fascinating show, for the IPL 2024, which is just two days away.
