The IPL 2026 season features Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opening their campaign at home against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Fans are eagerly anticipating this match, which is available for live streaming on the JioHotstar app and website.
In addition to the cricket action, Hotstar has recently launched a new web series titled Kaattaan, which premiered on March 27, 2026. The series stars renowned actor Vijay Sethupathi and is directed by M.Manikandan and B.Ajithkumar.
Kaattaan has received mixed reviews, currently holding a rating of 2.25 out of 5 on 123telugu.com. Critics have praised the production values as brilliant but have noted that the runtime is excessively long, which may detract from the viewing experience.
As the IPL match unfolds, fans are not only tuning in for the cricket but also to see how Kaattaan performs in the competitive streaming landscape. The web series aims to capture the attention of audiences looking for engaging content during the IPL season.
Meanwhile, the Carabao Cup is exclusively available on FanCode in India, with no traditional TV channels broadcasting the event. This exclusivity has led to a surge in subscriptions for the platform, as fans seek to catch all the action.
FanCode offers various pricing options for its viewers, including a Match Pass priced between ₹25-₹39 and a Tour Pass ranging from ₹99-₹149. For those looking for unlimited live streaming, a monthly subscription is available for ₹199 or ₹999 annually.
As the IPL season progresses, observers are keen to see how the performance of RCB and SRH impacts viewer engagement on Hotstar. The platform’s ability to deliver high-quality streaming will be crucial in retaining its audience amidst the competitive landscape.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional features or content that may be introduced on Hotstar in conjunction with the IPL matches or the ongoing web series.
