Until now, users had to buy or have a Disney+ Hotstar subscription to stream IPL in India and this was not available for everyone. Hence, telecom operators like Jio and Airtel offered prepaid plans with Disney+ Hotstar subscription to let people watch IPL matches without spending extra on the membership.
The first match will be between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Those who have seen the FIFA World Cup 2022 Multicam feature might be aware of the fact that the JioCinema app allows people to switch between multiple camera angles to let them watch matches from different angles for better convenience and experience. The same will also be the case for IPL matches. Though, a lot of people had issues streaming FIFA World Cup on the first day considering the app was not able to handle the high load. Users were witnessing lag and freezing issues on the first day of the match.
The telecom company will also let people watch the IPL matches in 12 different languages on JioCinema app. These include English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Bhojpuri, and more. In addition to this, if you change the language of matches, then the app will not only change the commentary but one will notice alterations in statistics and graphics.
In other news, Reliance Jio has successfully rolled out 5G services in about 277 Indian cities. Though 5G connectivity is still not stable and people are experiencing call drop issues. We also noticed that 5G drains out data at a much faster rate and you end up with zero data within minutes. The 5G plans are yet to be launched by the telecom company. The 5G plans will likely be revealed once the companies successfully roll out 5G all over the country and they are also expected to offer better data plans as the latest network drains out a lot of data in one go.
