India’s cricket carnival, the Indian Premier League, is up and running with its 18th edition. The newest edition has fans on their toes as the three original teams of the tournament that are yet to win the trophy—RCB, PBKS, and DC—are the only three teams so far to remain undefeated, while five-time champions CSK and MI, along with defending champions KKR, have each lost two games after three matches.
The latest edition of IPL 2025 is streaming exclusively on the new OTT platform JioHotstar and, unlike previous editions, fans cannot watch the matches for free. However, to counter the issue, Jio launched a special recharge plan that gives fans access to IPL matches on JioHotstar for free once again before the start of the tournament.
According to the offers, fans needed to buy a new Jio SIM or recharge their existing numbers with special plans till March 31. However, given the popularity of the tournament, Jio has now decided to extend the offer till April 15.
