Unexpected!!!

Did you ever dreamed about watching a live international cricket match on a Tamil channel with Tamil commentary?

I didn't. But, Raj TV surprised all today but telecasting the first ODI between India and Bangladesh play at Mirpur.

It was a risk taken by the channel, as the audience are comfortable with English commentaries and the reduced viewer circle because of regional flavour. The commentators tried their level best to use equivalent Tamil words instead of familiar English words. Though, they have failed at few occasions, it was a noted effort.

A long way to go but definitely a good step forward.
