Undoubtedly, Kanthi D Suresh has taken sports broadcasting to another level. She has not only changed the perspective of people about women entering into sports broadcasting but also she successfully has established that a woman is more than just eye-candy. Kanthi has brought a renewed perspective to broadcasting over time.

Many know her as a fearless reporter; her reporting style is impartial and unique. Whether she has to uncover doping in Sports or exposing people involved in money laundering in sports, she is always ready to bring the truth to her audience. Kanthi is known for her fearless reporting; her stories and style reflect reality with sensitivity. She doesn’t believe in doing things for the sake of doing. She is focused, and doing different and unique, is Ms. Kanthi’s innate qualities, which is visible in everything she does.
However, despite her energetic eloquence on-air, she is regarded as highly inaccessible and extremely private. Critics have very different opinions about Kanthi. As one of the critics said, “A journalist needs to interact and socialize more, needs to be easy to meet anytime. We must have Excellence, but we must also have accessibility to that Excellence.”
He also added, “Perhaps that’s what made her even more enigmatic.”
