Anil Chaudhary will be seen doing commentary

Speaking to the media, Anil Chaudhary said, “I have become a commentator now. Broadcasting is a bit different for me. I have been behind the mic for the last six months.” I did commentary during the Champions Trophy in February-March, though I took a break during that time to umpire the Ranji Trophy final. I have received very good feedback about my umpiring. Viewers feel that I give a different perspective, because the umpire’s perspective is completely different. People feel that I say interesting things in TV commentary.”
