Mumbai: Star Sports Network is set to launch a massive slate of cricket programming in the new year. The Men in Blue kick off the new year with a string of crucial matches against Asia Cup 2022 champion Sri Lanka.
Viewers and fans will be treated to three T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka with exclusive action on the Star Sports Network and Disney+ Hotstar beginning from 3 January 2023, 7 p.m. onward.
Created and conceptualised by the in-house team at Disney Star, the broadcaster has released the promo for the tournament that puts fans at the core of the film.
The promo features two ardent fans, Madhu and Bala, as well as cricketer Hardik Pandya. The fans start off as tour guides for the India-Sri Lanka tour in a comical effort to get tickets from Pandya to watch the match live. Both Madhu and Bala are concerned with the pedigree of the Asian Champions when they tour India for the T20I series, but Pandya reassures them that even though the Lankan Lions will be on the prowl, the jungle belongs to the Indians, and there’s no better feeling than playing at home.
