The 2024 TATA IPL season witnessed an unprecedented reach of 2,600 crore views, marking a substantial 53% increase compared to the previous year.

The platform’s reach expanded by over 38%, culminating in an impressive 62 crore viewers by the end of the season. The Connected TV audience also grew significantly, driven by JioCinema’s 12 language feeds, 4K viewing, multi-cam options, and immersive AR/VR and 360-degree viewing experiences. The average time spent on the platform increased to 75 minutes, up from 60 minutes in the previous season.
