    MUMBAI: Hero Indian Super League (ISL) – India’s premier football league, set to kick off on 29 September 2018, has launched its national campaign titled #FanBannaPadega.

    The campaign puts football fans at the heart of the experience and their role in helping Indian football grow. With the upcoming season of the ISL, fans have the opportunity to show their love for Indian and global footballing talent on display.

    Football globally has never been about who wins and who loses, it is about the sense of belonging and the unconditional support and loyalty towards the sport. India is an emerging football-loving nation, with loyalties divided at marquee global leagues/tournaments, but ISL gives them the opportunity to come together to celebrate India’s footballing revolution. Thus, the campaign for season five is a call out to all football fans at large to come together for Indian football – #FanBannaPadega.

    Commenting on the launch of the campaign, a Star India spokesperson said, “The Hero ISL stands for the realisation of a dream, the dream for millions of Indians to experience and understand the essence of Indian football. Season five is all set to usher in a new, refreshed wave of enthusiasm in India’s emerging appetite for football. It is this essence that fuelled the introduction of the #FanBannaPadega campaign, bringing football fans in the country together to support their heroes, their team, and their nation.

    #FanBannaPadega will be supported by an extensive 360 degree execution plan that will be spread across the across the country through ATL, BTL activities, TV, print, radio, OOH and social media. Following the national campaign roll out, there will be specific market campaign to build on the local club support. 

    Hero ISL season five will be broadcast in six different languages – English, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali and Kannada, While five languages will be on the Star Sports network, the Kannada feed will air on the newly launched Colors Kannada Cinema. On the digital, front the league will also be live streamed on Hotstar and Jio TV. It will also see the debut of Star Sports 3, Wherein the ISL will be exclusively broadcast in Hindi.

    The Indian football journey has come a long way, a journey which began with the nation, in unison, singing “Lets Football” in 2014. The past four years has not only seen the Indian national football team enter the Top 100 in FIFA Men’s rankings but has also seen India hosting its first ever FIFA tournament (FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017), Indian national team qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup 2019 and Indian U16 and U20 teams making the country proud with some strong performances during their exposure trips to Europe and other parts of the world. 

  • Star sports’ new tvc ‘Pange waala padosi’ for unimoni Asia Cup 2018 magnifies the spirited rivalry between India and Pakistan

    Star sports’ new tvc ‘Pange waala padosi’ for unimoni Asia Cup 2018 magnifies the spirited rivalry between India and Pakistan

    MUMBAI : Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the Unimoni Asia Cup has unveiled a new TVC as part of the ongoing #KnockThemOut campaign. The tournament scheduled to begin on 15th September will see Asian neighbours take on each other.

    Star Sports’ latest TVC, designed for India v Pakistan clash scheduled on 19th September, is a tongue-in-cheek take on how both the teams view each other as their fiercest on-field rival. Historically, India vs Pakistan cricket matches across formats have created some great significant moments, making it one of the biggest sporting rivalries in the world. Staying true to it, and with a twist on an age-old ‘Neighbourhood Rivalry’, the film pits Omi Vaidya who plays the ‘Pange waala padosi’ and Naveen Kasturia who plays a newly moved in neighbour against each other. The two neighbours, a clever metaphor for the two teams, try to knockout each other during the course of the TVC making the Unimoni Asia Cup 2018 the quasi-battleground on which these two neighbours would want to settle scores and emerge triumphant.

    The defending champions India will start off their campaign against the winner of the Asia Cup qualifier on 18th September before taking on their arch-rivals Pakistan on 19th September. The tournament guarantees a riveting battle for the Asian supremacy between these neighbours. Interestingly, given the format of the tournament, fans may witness possibly 3 India-Pakistan clashes in the tournament.

    Fans can catch the Unimoni Asia Cup 2018 live on the Star Sports Network and Hotstar.

  • India-Sri Lanka T20 game on Star Sports sets 5-year viewership benchmark

    India-Sri Lanka T20 game on Star Sports sets 5-year viewership benchmark

    MUMBAI: The second game of the PayTM T20 India vs. Sri Lanka series, broadcast on the Star Sports network, has become the highest-rated T20 international in the past five years. The match, won comprehensively by India, rated 256 TVM, according to BARC Panel CS4+ Urban calculations, surpassing the 112 TVM mark set by the India vs. Pakistan first T20 game in 2012.

    Anticipation was high heading into the game as Sri Lanka had dealt India a crushing defeat in the opening tie. A close game appeared to be on the cards but India’s batting order, led by a charge from southpaw Shikhar Dhawan, systematically picked apart Sri Lanka’s fearsome bowling attack on a dusty Ranchi pitch. The hosts scored 196, a total that proved insurmountable for Sri Lanka, with the visitors falling 69 runs short of the target.

    Despite the promise of a hard-fought game going unfulfilled, India’s dominant performance kept fans entertained. The ratings the match garnered, which followed the crushing defeat India dealt Australia last month on their home turf, sets the stage for the next few months of explosive T20 action still to come with the Asia Cup, ICC World T20 and the IPL all set to further whet viewer appetite for the shorter version of the game.

    Star India COO Sanjay Gupta said, “This is a fantastic start to the T20 season of cricketainement that will be available on Star Sports up ahead. We have got the Asia Cup being played in the T20 format for the very first time, followed by India playing host to the ICC World T20, with the Vivo IPL closing the exciting T20 season. All the action from these tournaments will be broadcast live on Star Sports with the IPL available on hotstar. India fans can expect a thoroughly enriched and immersive viewing experience this T20 season with innovations that will light up screens across platforms.”

    Viewership garnered by the India-Sri Lanka match is reflective of a surge in interest in the shorter version of the game. T20 is fast becoming India’s most-loved format of play and data shows fans have been enthusiastically lapping up the action from recent T20 series including the India-South Africa and India-Australia contests. This trend is also evident on digital channels with Hotstar, recording a 1.5 times higher watch time per viewer on all the recent T20 series than last year’s edition of the IPL 2015.
