A Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) commentator's statement during the Karnataka and Baroda Ranji Trophy game sparked outrage. The commentator on Thursday was heard saying that “every Indian should know Hindi as it is our mother tongue”. This is our mother tongue. You are staying in India then you will obviously speak its mother tongue,” he added. Their conversation - was clearly audible on the stump mic - had words like “Odi Odi Ba” (come running), “Bartheera” (will you come), “Beda Beda” (no no) and “Ba ba” (come).
