'Lot Of Current Commentators Do Not Work Hard': Charu Sharma Responds To Question From Fan

Famous sports commentator and presenter Charu Sharma held a casual question and answer session on Reddit after announcing it via his official handle on X. Sharma answered various questions, ranging from the ones relating to Olympics, Indian football and hockey, and cricket. Amongst it all, he pointed out that today's cricket commentators don't work well in their craft.

The Reddit thread saw a fan post the question:

"What's your take on the downgrade of the level of commentary over the years especially hindi commentary by the likes of Akash chopra?"

Sharma responded to the question, stating that it's a pity to see today's commentators not working as hard to improve their craft.

"I really don't wish to get into specific names. You may be surprised at how divided opinions are on the popularity of various commentators. However, yes, there is the distinct possibility that a lot of current commentators do not work hard at the craft. Which is a pity indeed."

Charu Sharma highlights what he likes about pre and post-IPL:

When asked about what he likes about pre and post-IPL, the veteran commentator gave a very interesting summer.

"The less crowded cricket schedule before the IPL. Post IPL - the livelihood provided to a very large number of professional cricketers in India and around the world, as well as the boost provided to sports management professionals in India."
