The fan wrote, “Hindi commentary can rank among the most cringiest things on this beautiful blue planet.”
After the remark gained traction, Singh hit again on the fan, taunting him for not appreciating his personal language. “Wah Angrej ki aulaad. Shame on you Apni bhasha bolne aur sun ke fakr mehsoos hona chahiye (Wow, descendant of the British. Shame on you. You should feel proud to speak and hear your own language),” he wrote.
The put up garnered over 1,000,000 views however not everybody agreed with Singh’s take and lots of defended the fan, claiming that he was solely criticising the Hindi commentary and never the language itself.

“Just for clarification purposes, he is talking about Hindi “commentary”, not Hindi “language”. Aap commentary dhang ki karoge toh koi kuch nahi bolega, but aap gyaan dedo pehle. (If you do goof commentary, nobody will say anything but you choose to preach),” stated one consumer.
One other in contrast Hindi and English commentaries. “He’s not talking about the Hindi language itself, he’s saying the Hindi commentary is awful. Ian Bishop and Mark Nicholas are awesome, aren’t they? But the Hindi commentary? It’s practically nonexistent; they just ramble on about anything but the game,” he added.
“In terms of commentary, Hindi commentary is the worst no technical knowledge shared no discussion that was discussed in English commentary. If you see both the commentary side by side you will definitely get the difference,” remarked a 3rd consumer.
