With this partnership, we intend to address both these objectives of providing the best sporting content with the best digital infrastructure to Reliance Jio users. Jio will continue to bring a superlative customer experience in the areas of sports, augmented reality, virtual reality, immersive viewing and more in the coming days," said Akash Ambani, Director, Reliance Jio.
Sanjay Gupta, MD, Star India, said Indian cricket under the BCCI is among the most exciting properties in the world and that this partnership with Reliance Jio will raise the bar for Indian cricket fans.
