Why even call it Hindi commentary?

I’ve been feeling that Hindi commentary has gone to gutter since last few years. The commentators just talk about everything except the ongoing match. I think they don’t have skills to analyse match ball by ball.

Back in the day I had listened to entire India vs Australia test series on a radio where I was able to visualise the shot played, ball bowled, fielding positions, even running between the wicket but now it’s just some chappri level podcast.

I mean what the f*** man. More so have seen this happening with Hindi commentators only. The English commentary is still decent and great if done by likes of Bhogle or Shastri or Morgan, Utthapa, Hesson, Smith etc.

Ex-cricketers like Shewag, Chopra, Raina doing this shit 💩 and telling about their days is plain annoying. Do we Indians especially Hindi speaking population like this cringefest? Is this a potential market which is being addressed by the channels?

Much larger question - Am I the only one who feels like this.
