The Changing Face Of Indian Cricket Commentators

Cricket once was incomplete without that trademark voice of the radio commentator, until television and glamour took over to redefine the sport. Throw in some T20, add a celeb and a bit of tadka and you have a game that has evolved almost beyond recognition over the past decade. Here are cricket’s hottest stars who have changed the way we watch our favourite game.
