IPL 2018 Player Auction clocks 5X viewership
Hotstar announces plans to launch fastest cricket scorecard

While IPL has grown each
year since its inception, 2018 promises to be an inflection point in its
history as Hotstar and Star Sports reimagine it into a 6-month extravaganza,
with technology at the heart of the experience.
With the intent to be the
singular destination for all things IPL, Hotstar also today announced plans to
roll out the fastest cricket scorecard in the country – with load time under
0.5 seconds. The new scorecard unit will be available to all Hotstar users when
they open the app.
The seemingly simple feature
packs in complex coding under the hood to provide the live score, with zero
lag, to over 250 million varied devices across the country. With the fastest
load time compared to any other cricket score feed, the feature is designed to
minimize friction for the user, completely eliminating the need to search for
the score anywhere else. The feature will be rolled out with the first IPL
match on 6 April 2018.
