“As the TATA IPL continues to scale up in unprecedented ways, our push is to assemble legends and heavyweights of the league together in our studios in a way that will offer a unique insider’s perspective to fans,” said Siddharth Sharma, a key figure at JioStar.
On March 28, 2026, as the TATA IPL season kicked off, JioStar made headlines by dismantling a large-scale digital piracy syndicate operating under the name BOS IPTV. This unauthorized IPTV service was found to be offering access to over 10,000 linear channels and a library of over 25,000 video-on-demand titles.
JioStar’s actions come as part of its commitment to safeguarding its content ecosystem and ensuring a fair viewing experience for fans. The company filed a criminal complaint at the Cyber Police Station in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, leading to the registration of an FIR (No. 0005 dated 26 March 2026) under multiple sections of Indian law.
In a significant move, the website bostv.org, associated with the infringing platform, has been taken down by its operators. This crackdown is a clear message against digital piracy, especially as JioStar gears up for a major presentation during the TATA IPL.
For the 2026 season, JioStar has announced an impressive lineup of over 150 presenters and experts. Fans will also enjoy the flexibility of viewing the matches in 12 different languages, catering to a diverse audience.
Notably, cricketing legend Ravichandran Ashwin will commentate for the first time in JioStar’s studios during this season, adding to the excitement surrounding the event.
The 19th edition of TATA IPL features players from three different generations, promising thrilling matches and memorable moments for cricket enthusiasts.
As JioStar continues to enhance its offerings, the focus remains on providing an unparalleled viewing experience while combating piracy.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further actions against piracy in the future, but JioStar’s current initiatives signal a robust stance against unauthorized content distribution.
