After Bhojpuri, Odia and Punjabi, Haryanvi could make its debut in IPL 2024 commentary. Viacom18 has begun hiring producers and associate producers for the Haryanvi language. JioCinema already live streams Indian Premier League in 11 regional languages other than English. Haryanvi could make a new addition.
Regional languages in IPL 2023 earned immense praise, especially Bhojpuri. Similarly, Punjabi too was a popular language to watch IPL commentary. Haryanvi could be the most sought-after in IPL.
“Candidates to possess good to expert understanding of cricket (IPL cricket) | Their Resume reflects the experience of having worked on cricketing events, preferably on the broadcast side (Live or Non-Live),” Viacom18 Sports’ job description for Haryanvi producer read.
