Throughout all of the Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal matches to date, The Singh Brothers have been treated as pests who consistently interfere and help Mahal escape with the WWE Title. Things couldn't be much more different to the Indian announcers though, because The Singhs are actually brave warriors.

From the off, the commentary team painted Sunil and Samir as honourable men who realised how great Jinder Mahal was and wished to prolong the legacy he was creating for Indian people as WWE Champion. When The Singh Brothers pulled Jinder from the first cage, the announcers laughed at Randy Orton for not having men like them who believe in him.

Even when The Singhs attacked Randy, they were supported by the Hindi announcers and said to be fearless for standing up to somebody twice their size. This was designed to make Orton look like a bully who had assaulted proud patriots putting their bodies on the line for Jinder.
