The Indian Premier League is back with its trademark mix of high-octane cricket and vibrant entertainment, and the IPL 2025 season is serving up something special for Punjabi fans.
For the first time ever, popular Punjabi singer-turned-actor Harrdy Sandhu will step into the commentary box, bringing the action to life in Punjabi commentary during the highly anticipated clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS).

Set to take place on April 1st at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, the match will begin at 7:30 PM IST and marks the 13th fixture of IPL 2025. As teams battle it out to climb the points table, fans are equally in for a treat with this exciting new addition to the broadcast.
Sandhu, whose chart-topping hits like Bijlee Bijlee and Naah have made waves in the music industry, actually began his journey in the world of sports. A former professional cricketer who represented Punjab at the domestic level, he brings both cricketing insight and his charismatic personality to the mic-making him a natural fit for the commentary role.
The introduction of Punjabi commentary reflects IPL's continued push to connect with diverse fanbases across the country. By offering commentary in regional languages, the league aims to make the experience more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone, especially those who prefer to enjoy the game in their mother tongue.
With Harrdy Sandhu bringing his unique energy to the box, this LSG vs PBKS showdown promises to deliver more than just cricket.
