Mumbai: Fans across the country are gearing up for a remarkable journey as the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup returns to Indian soil, marking a momentous 12-year wait. The anticipation and fervour among Indian fans are palpable, reminiscent of the unforgettable 2011 victory that saw the nation celebrate its cricketing heroes. Riding on this heightened excitement, Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the marquee global tournament, unveils its highly anticipated campaign as the biggest cricket festival gets underway from 5 October to 19 November 2023.
The first of many campaign films, created by the in-house team at Disney Star, highlights the emotions of Indian cricket fans as they wait to win the most prestigious trophy after a hiatus of 12 years. The campaign film showcases discontented souls who crave to watch Team India win the World Cup trophy, which will provide them eternal salvation. The catchy slogan, ‘World Cup ka bhoot sawaar, jeet ke utrega iss baar’ serves as a spirited call to action, rallying the entire nation to come together and wholeheartedly support the men in Blue in their pursuit of World Cup glory. The promo boasts of an exceptional ensemble that seamlessly blends cricket and entertainment, featuring iconic team India stars, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, alongside popular Bollywood sensation Shehnaz Gill and renowned stand-up comedian Aakash Gupta.
Speaking about the campaign for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, a Star Sports spokesperson said, “The scale of ICC CWC 2023 is such that it merits a multi-dimensional campaign catering to different audience segments, ranging from ‘Cricket aficionados’ to ‘event watchers’. The ‘One Day’ & ‘Best of Cricket’ campaigns were launched first to engage Cricket fans and now the ‘World Cup ka Bhoot’ campaign builds on the insight that everyone – even non-followers of the game – is possessed with the ambition of winning the World Cup after 12 years. The quirky rendition of this insight will hopefully appeal to a large number of audiences going beyond Cricket fans and bring them in to watch India’s campaign in ICC CWC 2023”.
Team India begin their ODI World Cup campaign on 8 October 2023, with an epic showdown against Australia at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium. The hosts will then lock horns with Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The anticipation builds as India’s path leads them to a highly anticipated clash with arch-rivals Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium on 14 October, adding another thrilling chapter to the ‘Greatest Rivalry’.

Mumbai: Evergent, the customer management and monetisation leader for streaming and D2C sports businesses, has announced the launch of its new Sports Accelerator package, a suite of features designed to optimise monetization of live event programming for sports OTT providers. Evergent’s Sports Accelerator addresses the most challenging aspects of subscription management and monetisation for sports programming, including reducing churn between professional sports seasons, navigating couch rights and blackout restrictions, and supporting channel sales and global payment processing. The new package builds on Evergent’s existing relationships and experience with sports media leaders including the National Basketball Association (NBA), YES Network, Bally Sports, MSG Network, and Marquee Sports.
Live sports programming is consistently one of the most popular television genres in the United States and throughout the world and it has only become more popular of late, as viewers are left with fewer original content choices due to the ongoing actors and writers strikes. Over the past year, streaming providers have also invested heavily in live sports programming, with major U.S. sports leagues including the NHL, MLB, and MLS broadcasting some games exclusively on platforms including Apple TV+, YouTube TV, and Amazon Prime.
The new Sports Accelerator package from Evergent is purpose-built to address the seasonal, location-specific nature of live sports programming. Evergent’s seasonal subscription feature allows customers to retain subscribers across season boundaries while aligning those subscriptions to season validity dates. Additional benefits of the feature include price grandfathering across seasons to help reduce churn that would otherwise take place after a major event like the Super Bowl or NBA Finals.
In addition to seasonal subscription management, Evergent’s Sports Accelerator package also includes the following features designed to improve monetization and subscriber retention:
● Couch Rights: Evergent’s couch rights feature allows RSNs to seamlessly remain compliant with complicated geofencing rules and blackout restrictions. Evergent allows RSNs to establish and enforce couch rights for subscribers traveling beyond the RSN’s broadcasting boundaries, allowing subscribers to enjoy their subscription content while away from home.
● Subscription Pause and Resume: Evergent’s flexible subscription management tools allow end users to pause their subscription for any reason, minimising the number of subscribers who churn without returning to the platform. This customer-friendly feature allows streaming companies to avoid the high costs of customer reacquisition.
● Channel Sales Manager: With Evergent, media providers can sell tickets and subscriptions through a variety of channels, including the teams themselves. Media companies can create and issue coupons or vouchers through the Evergent platform, allowing them to enable, manage and track coupon use across channels in a single platform.
● Favourite Teams/Players: This feature allows media companies to capture information on the subscriber’s favourite teams or players during the sign-up process, providing valuable data for personalised experiences and upselling opportunities.
Sports media customers use these tools for customer relationship management and monetization to overcome the challenges specific to their industry. Customers such as the NBA to deploy the seasonal subscription feature to increase customer retention. Regional sports networks (RSNs) including Bally Sports use Evergent’s couch rights feature to maintain compliance with geofencing and blackout restrictions.
“The live sports media landscape is changing, and it’s clear that media companies can no longer rely on the same playbook,” said Evergent CEO & founder Vijay Sajja. “Our new Sports Accelerator package was built with the fan in mind, simultaneously improving the user experience and reducing customer churn. We will continue to hone these features as we learn from our partnerships with some of the leading entities in sports media.”
Mumbai: With just ten days to go, motorsport fans across the globe are eagerly awaiting to witness history in the making at MotoGP Bharat. Hosted at the renowned Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida on 22-24 September, the race aims to shatter the highest speed record in the history of motorsport.
The Buddh International Circuit has been homologated making it suitable for motorcycle racing for the first time ever.
This year, Brad Binder of Red Bull KTM set the high-speed record at 366.1 Km/hr. India hopes to reach somewhere around 370 Km/hr, thanks to the long back straight, measuring 1006 metres. This straight stretch is divided into two parts – the first segment is downhill, which will allow the riders to achieve maximum acceleration, while the latter part, which is uphill, will enable them to brake late and maintain top speed.
Fairstreet Sports director racing Amit Sandill said, “MotoGP Bharat is poised to redefine speed in the world of motorcycle racing. The Buddh International Circuit has undergone remarkable modifications, and it will be breathtaking to see the riders achieve mind-boggling speeds.”
The parabola or the stadium section on turns 9 and 10, is the perfect camber for riders to slingshot out of the turns and permits them to push their bikes to the limit. The track’s surface gives exceptional grip to the tires, offering riders complete control over their machines. Meanwhile, safety measures have been bolstered with the installation of 1800 metres of new safety barricading.
Dorna Sports chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta added, “The changes made to the Buddh International Circuit are truly remarkable. This track now stands witness to India’s commitment to hosting world-class motorsport events. We believe the circuit has the potential to register speed that could rewrite the MotoGP record books.”
With a track that is flowing, and fast, and includes 13 challenging turns (eight right and five left), MotoGP Bharat promises to be a landmark event in the world of motorsport.
Some of the biggest names from the racing world including Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati, Marc Marquez of Repsol Honda Team, Marco Bezzecchi of Mooney, Brad Binder and Jack Miller of Red Bull KTM, Jorge Martin of Prima among others, will participate in MotoGP Bharat to be held on 22-24 September 2023.
