Cricket fans, mark your calendars—IPL 2025 is back in action starting May 17, and it’s bringing 17 high-stakes matches leading up to the grand finale on June 3. The season had hit pause earlier this month due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan, but the wait is finally over.
Now here’s the catch: if you were hoping to watch the rest of the matches for free, that’s not happening this time around. Jio and Hotstar have teamed up under a new platform called JioHotstar, and you’ll need a plan that includes access to it.
Thankfully, Jio’s rolled out a few solid options for every budget. So whether you just want to stream a few games on the go or binge the entire season, here are the top Jio plans that include JioHotstar access.
1. Jio Rs 100 Add-on Plan: Budget-Friendly Streaming Boost
If you’re already on an active Jio plan, this Rs 100 add-on is a sweet deal. It gives you:
- 5GB extra data
- 90 days of JioHotstar access
No voice or SMS perks here, but for just 100 bucks, it’s perfect for someone who just needs more data to catch the matches on their phone. Simple, cheap, and made for cricket nights.
