Cricket fans, this one’s for you. If you’re gearing up for IPL 2025 and don’t want to miss a single six or super over, Jio just made things a whole lot sweeter. Their Rs 949 prepaid recharge now includes a free Disney+ Hotstar Mobile plan worth Rs 149, so you can stream every match live—straight from your phone.
Let’s break it down.
What’s New with Jio’s Rs 949 Plan?
Jio has quietly updated their recharge offering, and honestly, it’s a solid move—especially with cricket season heating up. Here’s what you get with the Rs 949 recharge:
- Validity: 84 days
- Data: 2GB high-speed 4G per day + unlimited 5G data (if you’re on a 5G device)
- Calls & SMS: Unlimited calls + 100 SMS per day
- Hotstar Subscription: Free Disney+ Hotstar Mobile plan (Rs 149 value)
That Hotstar Mobile plan lets you stream all the live cricket action, including IPL 2025 and the ICC Champions Trophy, right from your phone. It’s the mobile-only version—so it works on just one device and streams in 720p—but hey, it’s free, and it gets the job done.

Why This Move Makes Sense
Jio is clearly doubling down on bundling content with its mobile plans—and it’s smart. By tossing in a Hotstar subscription, they’re not just adding value—they’re locking in sports fans who don’t want to miss out.
This kind of combo also keeps Jio users on the network longer and boosts adoption of higher-tier plans. It’s a win-win for everyone, especially you if you’re into cricket.
Final Thoughts
So if you’re a Jio user and planning to recharge soon, the Rs 949 plan is kind of a no-brainer—especially with IPL 2025 just around the corner. You’re getting great data benefits, free Hotstar for live matches, and a hassle-free way to stay connected.
