What to Watch on OTT

Jio Hotstar Cricket Live Views – Real or Fake?

India Vs Pakistan cricket matches are no less than a grand celebration.

After India’s win yesterday against Pakistan, fans have been on cloud nine. With Kohli’s century and Pakistan being knocked out of the Champions Trophy 2025, fans are super thrilled.

JioHotstar was the platform that telecasted the match live and recorded about 60 crore views.

Many JioHotstar users mistook this high number to be the count of viewers watching the match live. However, that was not the case.

One user via X (formerly Twitter) explained that the number represented the total cumulative views since the start of the match, not the real-time count of viewers watching at any given moment.

Previously, Disney+ Hotstar displayed live concurrent viewer counts, which means the number of people watching simultaneously.

After its merger, JioHotstar adopted a different approach, showing cumulative views, similar to platforms like YouTube and JioCinema.

This means the view count keeps increasing over time instead of reflecting real-time viewership.

JioHotstar’s view count system has confused many.

Unlike Disney+ Hotstar’s old method of showing current viewers, the new JioHotstar format displays cumulative views, which is a different metric altogether.

Either way, the massive number of views highlights how significant and celebrated India vs Pakistan matches are. The rivalry remains one of the most anticipated events in cricket, drawing millions of passionate fans every time.
