Like in every Indian Premier League, there is a basic comparison between the Hindi and the English commentary, especially on the JioHotstar network. While the English commentary panel is loved for focusing on the techniques and the backstories, the hindi commentary is known for boasting about their own careers. Amidst the trolls, the former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh even called out the "haters." Meanwhile, KKR team director and sports administrator Joy Bhattacharjya praised former West Indian player Ian Bishop for his commentary skills. Bishop has an extraordinary habit of digging up the stories of all cricketers, including the Indians. And this is a reason he is widely loved across the country. Recently, Bishop's commentary on Sunrisers Hyderabad's young star Aniket Verma's background became famous on the internet. Following that, Jay Bhattacharya, on his X account wrote, "I am all for the credit given to Ian Bishop for the research he puts into the junior cricketers.

He looks at the upbringings, the grooming, and every bit that made the player who he/she is at this moment. Bishi said. "As a a broadcaster and as a human being... I am interested in numbers but numbers are widely available. What I am interested in is the person behind the cricketer. So if I come to a tournament like this, I want to research every player that is in the league." He added, ”I want to know who their parents are, I want to know what job they had, I want to know how they got into the game. I believe the public deserves to know this for several reasons. The 13-year-old watching who doesn’t have the availability of funds, I want to be able to say to him or her, you too can make it, even if you don’t have access to resources."
