Doing football punditry is one of the hardest jobs in sports broadcasting. One needs a brilliant grasp of how football works - not only on the surface but also behind the scenes. The people involved in this trade need to have an analytical mind and decipher the tactics of the playing teams. Moreover, the pundits use their years of experience in football to summarize the intricate workings to the general public in a simple way. The expertise in previewing the game, delivering half-time analysis and dissectng the performances of both teams during the post-match show requires an understanding of the highest order. Below are five of the best broadcasters in Indian football. Their knowledge of how the game works in the country is unparalleled.
