All About IPL 2018 On Hotstar This Year
1.
What’s different this year in IPL 2018?
Lots. IPL on Hotstar has always raised
the game in sports experience and this year, we’re adding WatchN’Play and
Virtual Reality to the mix.
WatchN'Play is a skill-based game where a user
gets to test their cricket knowledge and expertise with millions of other users
tuned into the match. The feature takes the Indian cricket enthusiasts' innate
behaviour of providing running commentary on player performance and strategy,
into an actual game where they stand to win big. Virtual Reality is set to make
the cricket viewing experience, more immersive than ever before.
Also, 2018 is the year when we are making live
cricket available to all users who choose Hotstar for watching IPL.
2.
Will the live feed for IPL be available to all users by
default?
All users will be able to see the first 10
minutes of the live match free, as a promotional offer to sample the IPL
experience on Hotstar. To continue enjoying the matches after 10 minutes, users
can either buy the Hotstar All Sports Pack or subscribe to Hotstar Premium.
Reliance Jio and Airtel network users will be
able to watch all the live matches uninterrupted without subscribing to the
Hotstar All Sports Pack or the Hotstar Premium pack.
3.
What is the Hotstar All Sports Pack?
The Hotstar All Sports Pack is the sports
fan’s all access pass to all sports games on Hotstar, for an annual fee of Rs.
299. This includes IPL, Asia Cup, Pro Kabaddi League, Premier League,
Formula One and all Grand Slams (except Australian open).
4.
Can users watch IPL without the Hotstar All Sports Pack?
Only Airtel and Reliance Jio network users
will be able to watch IPL without subscribing to the Hotstar All Sports
Pack or Hotstar Premium.
5.
Can users watch a delayed feed, free of cost?
Cricket is a game that changes with every
ball, and best enjoyed on a live feed. Cricket fans have reached out to us
consistently to be able to watch IPL live, rather than several balls
behind, and that’s exactly what we’re bringing them this year.
So this year, there will be no delayed feed,
and all our users will have a chance to experience live cricket, throughout the
tournament.
