Fans were excited to watch the unofficial Test between India A and South Africa A but the joy quickly turned into frustration. The broadcast on JioHotstar has been slammed for poor quality and technical issues right from the start.
Streaming glitches frustrate fans
Viewers reported black screens for long stretches and constant disruption during live play. The scorecard would often vanish mid over and at times player names did not show up on graphics. Fans questioned the professionalism of such basic broadcast errors.
Rishabh Pant’s return overshadowed
Rishabh Pant is leading the India A side and his return to longer format cricket had raised expectations. However, the sloppy telecast has taken attention away from the actual match action. Fans feel the poor coverage has ruined what should have been an exciting viewing experience.
Commentary issues add to chaos
To make matters worse, the commentary feed kept switching between Hindi and English without warning. This confused viewers and broke the flow of the match, especially for bilingual and regional audiences hoping for a smooth broadcast.
Fans demand better standards
Social media is full of complaints against JioHotstar. Fans believe domestic and A level games deserve better quality coverage. With rising interest in India A tours, viewers want professional production that matches the talent and growing fan base.
