Good News Finally, multi-language commentary in JioHotstar for sports replays

[Sharan]

Finally, a multi-language commentary in JioHotstar in recently updated sports replays. That's what we have waited for.

(Picture 1): Apart from English, selected Premier League matches have Bengali and Malayalam commentary, starting from Aston Villa vs Fulham match in May 3.

(Picture 2 and Picture 3): IPL 2025 review show is the only cricket related replay after its name change to JioHotstar, having all languages (apart from English and Hindi), such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Haryanvi and Bengali.

We don't know why Premier League didn't include commentaries of these languages in the first place, but the reason why all languages were included in IPL 2025 review show replay is that there was no match going on. This is clearly evident in all WPL, ICC Champions Trophy and IPL replays upto May 8.

If it makes to IPL 2025 match replays after IPL was resumed, this will be a huge win for JioHotstar.

JioHotstar's multi-language commentary on replay appears, only if there's no ongoing match on the livestream. They completely stuck to "no regional language policy" when it comes to cricket replays. They're exclusively available in English and Hindi.

I'm not gonna be surprised if they exclude Tamil commentary in Ultimate Table Tennis (Season 6) replays, as UTT advertised that viewers can watch the match in Tamil commentary in JioHotstar.

But, selected replays of Premier League matches and all replays of Indian Super League matches on JioHotstar, have included Bengali and Malayalam commentary, which are Indian regional languages. Did JioHotstar completely exclude Indian cricket users by pulling such a discriminatory move?

And for your kind reference, this replay is the IPL match on today's date.
