This chap is asking the right questions, how many of you get pained by our IPL commentators doing this.
how much are the commentators paid for saying that vivo hifi box is the best place to sit and watch?

bhai wahan koi baithta bhi hai?#GLvMI
Damn! Didn't even realize that this bowling legend is in the IPL.
Dale Styen seems to have been picked up by GL, only to warm the benches, and at times chat with the commentators!#IPL #GLvMI
