Reliance and Disney have spent roughly $9.5 billion in recent years for TV and streaming rights for the world's richest cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League, the International Cricket Council's matches such as the one-day and T20 World Cups, and matches organised by the Indian cricket board.

To get the merger over the line, the two companies have offered concessions to the CCI, including a commitment to not raise advertising rates unreasonably for streamed cricket matches, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.

They also pledged not to bundle and sell advertising slots for different cricket tournaments, the source added.

Disney and Reliance's merged entity will also own Indian broadcast rights for the Wimbledon tennis championship, MotoGP and the English Premier League, among other sporting events.

Yes brother, I also have emotions for Sony because Extra Innings and IPL were golden days on Sony Max But the quality of Star 4K is much better than Sony's 1080p.

So that you know Sony is lowering their bitrates by half in live matches. Sony Liv 1080p50fps are being stream in around 4-5mbps and the actual bitrate of a proper clarity 1080p50f is from 10-12mbps. So you will still get a 1080p50f stream but with lesser clarity.
