This netizen assumed that Sourav Ganguly joined Hindi commentary team for a reason.

Another one.
The middle overs were so painful to watch that they had to bring Steve Waugh into the comm box to answer endless questions about the 1999 WC with even the 2001 test series thrown in.#CWC19 #INDvsNZ

As of now, the rain has played a spoilsport and has obstructed the play. The Kiwis have already played for 46.1 overs and have only managed to put up 211 runs on the board with the loss of five wickets. The match will resume on Wednesday from where it ended on Tuesday.
