5 commentators we would've loved to hear during the IPL

5. Ian Smith?

In the recently concluded World Cup, New Zealand’s Ian Smith emerged as one of the most popular commentators of the tournament. Off late, the 58-year old has been a regular member of Sky Sports’ rugby and cricket commentary team. His exciting style of commentary was a big hit with fans, especially in games involving co-hosts New Zealand.

The below tweet from news presenter Mike McRoberts sums up how good a commentator Ian Smith can be:

Have to say Ian Smith's commentary on Elliot hitting the winning six is pure gold. One for the archives #BlackCaps

Given the several ups and downs that an IPL game goes through, Smith can be a big hit in the IPL. Moreover, given that he has also had a lot of experience playing international cricket, he can also provide some valuable insights.
