Most indian commentators repeat what aussie commentators said before or learned the sentence. These people can’t make their own cricket sentence.

He probably repeated every unique sentence he said atleast 20-100 times in a day . The thing is he can’t speak anything else in between to make us forget what he said before..

he should be worst ever commentator in the history of the game , next probably rameez raja.

To be fair, its not just the Indian commentators who are afflicted with this ill. Majority of the Channel 9 commentary team are susceptible to this as well. Yes I am looking at you Messrs. Healy, Slater, Nicholas and co.

During the coverage of the Adelaide test, at one point, Bill Lawry was trying to argue with Ritchie that it wasn’t legal for the Indian and Paki fielders of the 70’s, 80’s to return the ball from the outfield on the bounce to scuff up the ball (to bring spin or reverse swing into play). Ritchie in his mellifluous tone was trying to argue otherwise, but had to contend with Bill getting excited and louder by the minute and had to give up.

As for Mr Shastri, I agree completely. It’s like he’s reading from the book of Uhstrayan cliches, and it’s not really a good idea to base your English on the language of Oz commentators.
