Cricket season is in full swing and fans don’t really want to miss a single ball. With the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 underway, many are choosing to stream matches directly on their phones instead of hunting for a TV. If you’re on Airtel, there’s some good news — a couple of prepaid plans now bundle free JioHotstar access along with daily high-speed data, making live match streaming simple and pocket-friendly.
The tournament is being hosted across India and Sri Lanka, and every game is streaming live on the JioHotstar app and website. That means you can follow the action anywhere — at home, in the office, or even while travelling.
Here’s a quick look at the Airtel plans that let you do exactly that.
Why JioHotstar matters for T20 World Cup streaming
JioHotstar currently holds the digital streaming rights for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. All matches are available live on mobile and web, along with highlights, replays and match analysis.
So instead of relying on cable or DTH, users can simply use mobile data and watch matches seamlessly. For fans who consume a lot of daily data, bundled plans make more sense than paying separately for subscriptions.
Airtel ₹399 Plan: Heavy data users’ pick
If you stream matches in HD or spend hours on social media and OTT apps, this one fits well.
The ₹399 prepaid plan offers:
• 2.5GB data per day
• Unlimited 5G data in covered areas
• 28 days validity
• Unlimited voice calls
• 100 SMS per day
• Free JioHotstar Mobile subscription for 28 days
With 2.5GB daily data, you can comfortably watch long T20 matches without worrying about running out of data midway through the chase.
Airtel ₹398 Plan: Balanced and budget-friendly
For users who need slightly less daily data but still want streaming benefits, Airtel’s ₹398 plan is another practical option.
This plan includes:
• 2GB data per day
• Unlimited 5G data in supported zones
• 28 days validity
• Unlimited voice calls
• 100 SMS daily
• Free JioHotstar Mobile subscription for 28 days
It’s just a rupee cheaper but offers slightly lower daily data, making it suitable for moderate users.

Which plan should you choose?
If you plan to stream every match live in high quality, the ₹399 plan with 2.5GB daily data gives better breathing room. Casual viewers who only tune in for key games can save data and go with the ₹398 option.
Either way, both plans remove the need for a separate OTT subscription and keep things simple — recharge once and start watching.
With the T20 World Cup heating up and India already off to a winning start, these bundled plans could be a handy upgrade for cricket fans wanting uninterrupted live action right from their smartphones.
