IPL 2023: I love the word Bhojpuri, says Graeme Smith

New Delhi, May 15 : Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith is mesmerised with the Bhojpuri commentary feed thats taken fans by storm over the past six weeks of the IPL 2023.

The former left-handed opening batsman, who at the age of 22, was appointed SAs youngest-ever captain and held the position of Test captain till his retirement in 2014, said hes become a huge fan of the word Bhojpuri.

Speaking about why he thinks JioCinemas 12-language commentary feeds, especially Bhojpuri and Punjabi, have become such huge hits, Smith exclaimed: "I love the word Bhojpuri.I love it.I think I might use that often.I was actually chatting with Anil Kumble last night; I think its just the ability to connect with people on a level that feels like home.

""Its their language, so they can relate to it; it makes sense to them, and same with Punjabi.Youre creating content now that speaks directly to the fan.Theyre loving the cricket on the field, but the information they are receiving around it is something they can connect with." cs #love #Bhojpuri #Graeme #Smith #Delhi #Cricket #BCCI #ICC #IPL #Sports #IPL2023 #Delhi #New Delhi #Puri .
