India is the biggest market for cricket. It has the largest number of cricket fans and a large number of fans also know Australian players. For this reason, apart from international matches in Australia, matches of Big Bash League and domestic cricket are also seen in India. This is the reason why Australian Cricket made a deal with Hotstar to show all BBL matches.
We had a significant interest in the rights and we are very grateful to our current rights holder, Sony, who will be broadcasting all matches in Australia throughout this season.
Disney Star also recently won the TV broadcast rights of the Indian Premier League till 2023-27. However, the rights for the digital broadcast of IPL are now with Viacom 18 Group. Earlier these rights were also with Hotstar.
