A look at some of the anchors who would be entertaining fans during the two-month tournament.
India's biggest entertainment festival - the India Premier League (IPL) – has begun and the first clash between defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) went on to a nail-biting finish.
The 14th edition has also returned to India as the 52-day tournament will be played across six cities namely Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. Since all the matches will be played behind closed doors, IPL fans are limited to watch the games on their television sets.
So Star Sports Network - the official broadcaster of IPL 2021 in India - announced an illustrious panel of anchors and hosts for the cash-rich tournament.
They will broadcast the IPL matches will be in eight different languages – English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and Marathi – this year.
The list of presenters: Kira Narayanan, Jatin Sapru, Neroli Meadows, Anant Tyagi, Suren Sundaram, Dheeraj Juneja, Bhavna Balakrishnan, Nashpreet Kaur, Suhail Chandhok, Anubhav Jain, Radhakrishnan Sreenivasan, Sanjana Ganesan, Muthuraman R, M Anand Srikrishna, Vindhya Medapatti, Neha Chowdry, Reena Dsouza, Kiran Srinivasa, Madhu Mailankody and Tanya Purohit.
However, prominent sports presenter Mayanti Langer would not be part of the panel after giving birth to a baby boy. Mayanti Langer had told Hindustan Times last month, "I've had what we call a pandemic pregnancy and my baby is a pandemic baby. I had to be completely isolated since I was in the high-risk category during my pregnancy, so as of now I am not thinking about a career or going back to work".
