Former Indian cricketers Aakash Chopra and Venkatesh Iyer reportedly feature together on the list of commentators finalized by Viacom18 for the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023. Jio Cinema will be streaming the WPL 2023 on their website and mobile application, while the inaugural season will be telecasted on Sports 18. As per Viacom 18, Chopra and Prasad will be among other big names like Anjum Chopra, Zaheer Khan, Parthiv Patel, and Pragyan Ojha to feature in the list of commentators.

The development of Chopra and Prasad being named in the panel became a big talking point for Indian cricket fans on social media, as both individuals were recently involved in a feud online. Chopra openly disagreed with Prasad’s decision to loathe criticism of KL Rahul. While Chopra felt Prasad was being too harsh with the Indian opener, the latter claimed Rahul has been given enough chances to not get called out after his dismal show.

However, it is worth noting that Chopra will be a part of the Hindi commentary team, while Prasad will be seen calling the match in his native Kannada language. Meanwhile, the inaugural WPL season will also be streamed in the English, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu languages as well. Meanwhile, here’s a look at all the commentary teams, and live-streaming details about WPL 2023 ahead of the season opener on March 4.
