Free is not Free, if we have Active Paid Data plan only can watch. else it's another scam.

Explaining the data cost factor, a Jio official said, “We don’t expect all users to watch full IPL matches on the mobile phone. On average, people would watch less than an hour or so, for which roughly 0.5 GB is required. This much data is often available with most data plans of all the operators.”

Viacom18 has also come up with Jio Media cables that can connect even low-end smartphones with old linear TVs, including the CRT one, and stream IPL through the Jiocinema app.

The cable, which currently costs nearly Rs 1,500 might be available for a few hundred bucks soon.

not only data, but net speed also is a factor, especially if IPL is coming in 4K.
Most of the affordable (monthly under 1K) unlimited plans are around 8Mbps (1MBps) speed only.

Like I said earlier, Jio/Viacom18 is doing where Hotstar never had any intention to do something new for the digital audience.

Most of the affordable (monthly under 1K) unlimited plans are around 8Mbps (1MBps) speed only.

Basic plans starts from around 20 Mbps. 30 Mbps cost ₹399 on JioFiber. Local ISP offers 100 Mbps for ₹499. You can adjust quality as per your liking. You don't have to watch in 4K.
