Mayanti Langer

Born on Friday, February 8, 1985, in Delhi, India, Mayanti has been active in the industry since 2010, when she was around 25 years old. Over 16 years, she has worked with Star India, covering cricket matches and hosting major tournaments. Her journey began with Football Cafe on Zee Sports, and she quickly became a sought-after anchor for events like the 2010 FIFA World Cup on ESPN, the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the 2011 Cricket World Cup, the 2014 Indian Super League, the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, the 2018 and 2019 Indian Premier League, and the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

Her love for football grew while she was a student in the United States, where she played on her college team and even served as a guest anchor for a FIFA beach football broadcast.

She also anchored coverage of the Nehru Cup at Ambedkar Stadium and the Indian Cricket League. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup broadcast on ESPN, Mayanti led a team of expert panelists alongside John Dykes. She also hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games with Charu Sharma. Today, she remains a respected figure in sports journalism, with a large following on Instagram.
