Have you ever tried watching a live sport, while your Television set is on mute? We bet you have.
Well, you are not the only one. Most of us have tried it at some point of time but never liked it. Watching a game on mute kills the whole experience.
As much as we love to watch the action unfold in the middle, we also cherish the voices that describe the whole proceedings.

It’s not an exaggeration when we say if live action is the heart of any sport, then live commentary is its soul. It’s difficult for one to exist without the other.
To provide the audience with top-notch experience, it is important that they get the best of both worlds. In countries like England, even the spectators, who travel to the ground, now get to hear the live commentary through an earpiece.

Not just players’ performances, we have seen fans complaining about the commentary skills of various individuals.
The amount of complaints the fans make about the poor commentators just goes on to show how much they care about this aspect of the game, which nobody seems to care about.

We always love the kind of segments the official broadcasters in other countries produce during the pre-, mid- and post-match shows. Their analysis always makes us wonder why can’t it be done in India. After all, the BCCI is the most affluent cricket board in the world and is responsible for producing the majority of world cricket’s revenue.
The difference between countries like England, Australia and South Africa is that there they get to choose their panel of experts whereas in India, the commentators are picked by the Indian cricket board itself.

To present an objective analysis of the game, it’s important that they leave their bias at home and don’t shy away from calling a spade a spade.
It’s important that they don’t have to weigh their words before opening their mouths. But under this sort of arrangement, it’s quite impossible to get this fear out of their head.
We have seen what happened to Harsha Bhogle. One of the most popular cricket commentators in the country was sacked by the BCCI for saying things that some of the top players didn’t like during the 2016 T20 World Cup.
Nothing to add https://t.co/8rBel3vw4o
— Mahendra Singh Dhoni (@msdhoni) March 23, 2016
Bhogle’s comments had not gone down well with Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan as well as former skipper MS Dhoni and they had registered their objection on social media.
For many years, the cricket lovers have been demanding the BCCI to reform their policy and make it more inclusive and transparent, where experts are not afraid of speaking their mind.

Recently, a cricket show host and comedian Vikram Sathaye posted a tweet urging the BCCI to stop appointing commentators and leave the decision to the host broadcasters. He added that picking and choosing commentators should not be BCCI’s prerogative and they should focus their energy on the players welfare and development of sport in the country.
The one reform that needs to happen is BCCI should not appoint commentators . That has to be the broadcasters prerogative . I don’t think anywhere in world this happens , I am sure they have their own reasons but doesn’t seem right !
— Vikram Sathaye (@vikramsathaye) February 21, 2022
“The one reform that needs to happen is BCCI should not appoint commentators. That has to be the broadcasters prerogative. I don’t think anywhere in world this happens, I am sure they have their own reasons but doesn’t seem right!” Sathaye tweeted.
The cricket aficionados in the country also registered their strong views on the matter. Majority of the people found it absurd that the BCCI was still appointing commentators based on its liking.
Absolutely agree! We need to have good analysts and story tellers of the game. Not only BCCI cheerleaders
— Mithilesh Nichkaode (@nichkaode) February 21, 2022In the US, the broadcasters pick the commentators. But there have been instances of commentators being barred by sports bodies or tournaments. For instance, Gary McCord was banished from the Masters for making comments that the tournament organizers didn’t like.
— Kittu Kolluri (@kittukolluri) February 21, 2022Agree with you after a long time.
BCCI runs this like a Sarkari scheme for commentators.
— Aniket Jaiswal (@aniketjazz) February 21, 2022Agreed. Does not make any sense why @BCCI should get involved in it at all
— Pradeep Hardikar (@PradeepHardikar) February 21, 2022It is nothing but stifling dissent. Harsha Bhogle had to bear the brunt of their intolerance.
— Rajesh mudras (@MudrasRajesh) February 21, 2022The only way to improve the standard of cricket broadcasting is by allowing the broadcasters to pick their own panel of experts who have full freedom to share their opinions without being afraid of anyone.

After what was a highly testing year for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, his son Aryan Khan, and the rest of the family in 2021, it certainly looks like things are on the way up for the Khans.
Yep! We know you love to Keep Up With The Khans, and we are going to give you every detail we can.
As you already know, King Khan is making his Bollywood comeback with the upcoming spy-thriller film Pathan, which will also see Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

Fans have wanted to watch Shah Rukh return to the big screens for so long, having last seen him in Zero alongside Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
However, with Pathan reported to wrap up soon, we are almost destined to have Shah Rukh return to his glory.
One more positive for SRK's diehard fans is that he is not the only one in the family making his presence felt in Bollywood, with his son Aryan Khan too, finally making his much-anticipated debut in the industry.

Yeah, that's right!
After having spent a hellish few months in connection with the cruise ship drug case, Aryan, as per reports, would be welcoming some very good news in terms of his career.
Khan junior already made his public appearance alongside sister Suhana Khan during the IPL auctions recently, and it looks like that was just the start of things for him.

Good news, right?
Are we getting to see Shah Rukh and son Aryan on the big screens?
Well, not exactly.
According to reports, Aryan will not be making his debut as an actor just yet, but would actually be debuting as a writer.
As per reports, Aryan will be penning down stories for an OTT platform as well as a feature film.
Pinkvilla reports that Junior Khan is in talks with the OTT platform for a web series and also a feature film produced by Red Chillies.
It is also reported that the web series might actually be out this year itself if everything goes well.
Shah Rukh had previously already mentioned how Aryan was not really inclined towards acting and would rather choose to be involved in the creative process of writing.

Speaking to David Letterman in 2019, SRK said,
"Aryan doesn't have what it takes to be an actor and he realizes that too but he's a good writer. I think wanting to be an actor has to come from within. Something you really need to do and find a set of skill that helps you do it and learn it. But I think I realized it from him when he said that to me. He came to me and said, 'I don't think I want to act',"
This coupled with daughter Suhana Khan's debut in Zoya Akhtar's Netflix web series, means that Shah Rukh will probably have more things to be proud about this year.

I think he really, really deserves all of it.
