Who Is JosD92 And Why Has The Mystery Account Taken Over IPL Internet?
@Source: news18.com
“Kya bakwaas kar rahein hain yaar aap JosD92? (What nonsense are you commenting JosD92?)” If you have tuned in on the cricket side of the Internet in the past few days, you might have come across a mystery account that is happily emptying their wallet to have their concern about IPL 2025 heard during YouTube livestreams. JosD92’s modus operandi is simple. JosD92 joins cricket livestreams including one organised by a YouTube channel called ‘Sports Yaari’ routinely. There, the mystery person buys YouTube Super Chat to have their comment read by the host of the IPL livestream. The content of the comment? Dhoni and Hindi commentators in IPL 2025.
What Is Super Chat?
Super Chat is an option on YouTube for the viewers attending a livestream to comment and stand out. A user can tap on the dollar sign in the live chat and send their purchased message across. The paid, customised comment appears on top of the live chat feed, making it visible for all, including the host of the livestream. It enables YouTubers to monetise through YouTube Partner Program. These highlighted comments are non-refundable.

JosD92 uses the YouTube Super Chat feature to its maximum potential. The comments are usually crude jokes, each one unique from other, tailored in a way that eventually lead up to: Dhoni and Hindi commentators.
The mystery critic (or troll) has featured on two individual YouTube channels namely Sports Yaari and Sports Tak that discuss cricket and IPL in their livestreams.
Sensing they are onto something, JosD92 started uploading videos on their personal channel.
Since then, JosD92’s zingers have become wildly popular, especially on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter). Others flocked to Google to simply know more about JosD92. The videos are clipped segments from the said cricket-analysing YouTube channels reading out JosD92’s highlighted comments before realising the joke was NSFW.

JosD92 doesn’t want to stop here, though. The YouTube commenter is accepting donations to stay on their unique endeavour.

Hindi Commentary
JosD92’s critique, however, is far from unique. Hindi commentary panel, in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League (IPL), has come under severe criticism from all quarters owing to its quality or lack thereof.
Shayaris, old stories, double-meaning jokes have become the integral part of the commentary while cricket has taken the backseat, opined many users on ‘X’ while expressing their displeasure to drop in quality of cricket narration during Hindi broadcast.
Another reason that has left even MS Dhoni fans exhausted is the exaggerated and over-the-top praise for the former India captain and Chennai Super Kings player. Fans have found the supposed obsession with the 43-year-old player tacky and tiring.

Before JosD92 found their shtick to convey their disdain about the Hindi commentary, a cricket fan’s humble plea to bring changes and improvements in the quality of broadcast resonated with one and many. Harbhajan Singh, part of the panel that is currently facing backlash, acknowledged the fan plea.
“To all the cricket broadcasters, IPL is going on right now, some days ago Champions Trophy was taking place, I humbly plead you to improve Hindi commentary. It has increasingly become difficult to tune in to a match running Hindi commentary,” the fan said in a now-viral video.
“In our childhood, we got to listen to Arun Lal, Maninder Singh, Sunil Doshi – we got to learn a lot about the game. There was a focus on the technical aspects of the game.”
