Mumbai, January 5, 2024: From January 11–17, 2024, Viacom18 will broadcast live and exclusively the three-match Twenty20 International series between India and Afghanistan on JioCinema, Sports18-1 SD + HD, and Colors Cineplex. The tour will act as preparation for the T20 World Cup, which will take place later in the year, and will be Team India’s first T20I series of 2024.
By offering the series in English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, JioCinema will improve the viewing experience. While Sports18-1 SD + HD offers fans the choice of English, Tamil, Telugu, or Kannada, Colors Cineplex will broadcast live action in Hindi. Throughout the series, viewers will also be able to watch insightful commentary from professionals like Suresh Raina, Zaheer Khan, Saba Karim, Parthiv Patel, Aakash Chopra, and Pragyan Chopra.
In a humorous commercial released by Viacom 18, the two countries are shown joking around at a sports store while wearing their respective uniforms. The campaign, which uses the tagline “dekh lenge,” is based on the idea of “the giant killers vs the giants.” With amusing cultural allusions, both teams are shown as challenging one another for the series.
“A Viacom18 spokesperson stated that the India tour promises a perfect mix of neighborly camaraderie and high-octane T20 action. Afghanistan has arguably had the most exhilarating development in world cricket over the past few years.” Although there won’t be a shortage of cricket-related excitement within the boundary, our goal outside it is to package accessibility and customization for each and every cricket fan viewing the series on connected TV or mobile devices. The amount of live sports consumed digitally is expected to soar by 2024, and we are well-positioned to meet that demand with our products.
In the opening Twenty20 International on January 11, 2024, an eager Afghanistan team will take on the might of India in the hopes of winning their first-ever match against the Men in Blue following an incredible World Cup campaign in India. At 6:00 PM, JioCinema, Sports18-1 SD + HD, and Colors Cineplex will start airing the match coverage.
By downloading JioCinema, viewers can carry on watching their favorite sports.
