Reliance's JioCinema app surpassed global records with over 32 million concurrent viewers during the final game of the TATA IPL 2023 between the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans, exceeding Hotstar's previous breakthrough. This substantial increase in viewership is likely due to the ongoing speculation about cricketer MS Dhoni’s final professional appearance. JioCinema has already started cementing its position as one of the best OTT players out there after acquiring rights to HBO and Warner Bros Discovery Inc. content.

Needless to say, netizens applauded not only Chennai Super Kings but JioCinema as well for achieving an astounding feat. Let’s take a look at some of the tweets about JioCinema’s achievement that went viral.

“Disney+ Hotstar used to charge Subscription, Mukesh Ambani made IPL Streaming Free”, tweeted Ravi Sutanjani who has worked with brands such as Oyo, Zomato and Rapido.

“Few years down the line, there will be a case study in Ivy League colleges on how Jio was truly disruptive,” Said Gurmeet Chadha of Complete Circle, a wealth and asset management firm.

ICICIdirect’s Twitter handle too revealed some staggering numbers and shared Mukesh Ambani’s strategy for JioCinema.

Viacom18 paid Rs.23,758 crore to acquire IPL streaming rights and they let people watch it on JioCinema for free. As JioCinema’s viewership starts soaring, their ad revenue is predicted to hit 2600 crores this IPL, which would be even more than the ad revenue from TV. Watch the video.

GabbbarSingh’s tweet commended the engineering team of JioCinema and said that there were two winners – CSK (Chennai Super Kings) and JioCinema.
