Disney+ Hotstar is a service like the Indian version of Disney+, and in addition to the content distributed on Disney+, Indian movies and dramas are distributed. Various sports matches were also streamed in real time, and the highlight was the exclusive distribution of the Indian Premier League (IPL), India's popular domestic cricket tournament.

However, Disney+ Hotstar's competing service JioCinema has acquired the rights to broadcast IPL, so Disney+ Hotstar will no longer be able to broadcast IPL matches from 2022 onwards. After that, JioCinema aired the IPL final in May 2023, achieving a world record of 32 million simultaneous live streaming viewers.

Disney+ Hotstar, which lost the broadcasting rights to JPL to JioCinema, has reportedly lost more than 12.5 million subscribers. Therefore, it has been reported that Disney is also considering the possibility of selling some of its operations in India.

Therefore, Disney+ Hotstar aired the ICC Cricket World Cup, the world cricket tournament, for free. The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in Ahmedabad, India, and is an event that is attracting particular attention in India, where cricket is very popular.

And the India vs Pakistan match was held on October 14, 2023 at the ICC Cricket World Cup. India and Pakistan have long been at odds over territorial and religious issues, but they are also their biggest rivals in cricket, so this match between India and Pakistan is a must-see for any Indian cricket fan.



According to IT news site TechCrunch, the India vs Pakistan match attracted 35 million concurrent viewers. This surpasses the 32 million viewers that JioCinema attracted by broadcasting the final match of the 16th IPL, setting a new world record.

Sajith Sivanandan, Head of Disney+ Hotstar, said, “We would like to thank all the fans who watched the India vs Pakistan match on Disney+ Hotstar. Your love for the game is what makes Disney+ Hotstar the best it has ever been. We were able to break records and reach 35 million viewers, the highest number of concurrent viewers in history.'



According to TechCrunch, immediately after the ICC World Cup Cricket concludes in November 2023, Disney+ Hotstar's top executives will meet at Disney's headquarters in the United States to discuss whether to continue operating Disney+ Hotstar.
