One of the best streaming platform in India is Hotstar, which is the country’s own entity owned by Indians that has taken over the imagination of nearly a billion people that reside within the Indian sub-continent.
Why is Hotstar so popular? Why such a massive craze for live cricket? How did the streaming platform reach a whopping 10.3 million userbase?
Nearly 200 million users are subscribed to Hotstar, now rechristened as Disney+ Hotstar following its purchase by Disney Studios. The video streaming platform is now available in many other neighbouring countries of India like Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, among others.
There are innumerable popular Indian shows and series available on the platform that is streamed to millions of people in many different genres and languages but if there is one feature that is more popular than others, even movies, are live cricket matches.
In India, movies and cricket are the two biggest forms of entertainment and are almost considered on par with religion with many of the celebrities from both fields being adored by the netizens to the point of worship and, by extension, crazy fanaticism.
When the IPL T20 Cricket Tournament took place, Hotstar received a jaw dropping traffic in the form of nearly 10.3 million concurrent users, which broke the record of 8.3 million concurrent users held earlier.
Let us look at some of the interesting points as to how this happened because while it is a known fact that IPL T20 is the most popular form of cricket in India, the fact that Hotstar has got such a huge traffic via nearly 10.3 million concurrent users, the technicalities need to be clear to the readers.
