IPL 2025: The 2025-edition of the IPL is going to start from March 22. Before the start of season-18, fans have now got a big shock. Cricket fans will no longer be able to watch IPL 2025 matches for Rs 29. Actually, last season, fans could watch matches on JioCinema with a subscription of Rs 29, but now fans will have to pay more money for this. Fans have got this big shock after JioCinema and Hotstar merged. After the merger of JioCinema and Disney + Hotstar streaming platforms, the new streaming platform JioHotstar was launched on Friday.
Spend Money To Watch The Match
According to a Reuters report, fans will be able to watch only a few minutes of the IPL match without a subscription. After the free minutes are exhausted, they will be directed to the subscription page, with plans starting at Rs 149.
