Jio Cinema’s first ad with brand ambassador MS Dhoni excites cricket fans

Viacom 18 bagged the digital rights for men’s IPL 2023-27 for ₹20,500 crore while the television rights are with Star Sports Network. Jio Cinema has left no stone unturned to push the Indian cricket fans towards choosing digital streaming over television for the upcoming season of Indian Premier League.

Jio Cinema took to Twitter and shared their first ever advertisement with Mahendra Singh Dhoni after announcing the former Indian skipper as their brand ambassador.

Jio Cinema wrote,”Helicopter Alert

Earlier, after being announced as the brand ambassador of Jio Cinema, MS Dhoni had said, “I truly believe that watching sports is best enjoyed when you can catch your favourite action on-the-go or from the comfort of your own home but with interactivity, choice and personalisation, something that only a digital platform can offer.”

In the teaser released by the OTT app, MS Dhoni can be heard saying, “Arey ye boring TV hatao yaar, TATA IPL iss baar Jio Cinema pe.”

Netizens were amazed after watching the teaser as MS Dhoni is one of the most loved cricketers in India. Some of the social media users termed it as ‘Downfall of Star Sports’ as they believe announcing MS Dhoni as the brand ambassador ahead of the IPL 2023 edition will help Jio Cinema in shifting the focus from television to digital streaming.
