Bumrah and Kapil Dev unite for Jiocinema's CTV proposition of watching IPL 2024

Shortly after bringing MS Dhoni in a double role for their inaugural TATA IPL 2024 campaign, JioCinema has now presented Kapil Dev and Jasprit Bumrah in two films as part of their new campaign, titled TV Dekho Toh Aise.

The latest set of films from JioCinema focus specifically on the Connected TV proposition for viewers that prefer watching Tata IPL on digital as well as a big screen. They also aim to bring out the manifold features of the platform that take fans from a ‘lean-back’ to a ‘lean-forward’ viewing experience with a degree of autonomy.

Tata IPL 2024 will commence on JioCinema with the southern derby as MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings face off with Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22, 2024.

The treatment of the films, produced by Chrome Pictures, is banter-filled, as conversations between the two cricketers get dotted with tongue-in-cheek remarks at each other, all in good jest.

The first film has Bumrah engrossed in watching the Tata IPL on his mobile phone, while Dev enters the scene and engages him in conversation. Bumrah is seen staking superiority for the way his generation consumes the Tata IPL, until Dev challenges him, turning on a Connected TV, streaming the same content Bumrah was watching. The second film with the duo takes it a step forward in the same vein, as they discuss the capability of watching the Tata IPL in 4K, with one’s choice of camera angle and key moments. 

“While there is no doubt that India has gone digital in the way it watches the Tata IPL or any other live sport, Connected TV viewers are a rapidly growing subset within the digital universe,” said a Viacom18 spokesperson. “Our films with Kapil Dev and Jasprit Bumrah drive home the message that the TATA IPL can not only be enjoyed at convenience with flexibility on a mobile phone but also with high-end features for free on Connected TV. It is the same thrill of the high-octane tournament but on a big screen with the viewer having complete control over the premium viewing experience. It is our submission to cricket fans to get a first-hand experience of how JioCinema is redefining the TV experience and hence the line, ‘TV Dekho Toh Aise’ in the campaign.
