JioCinema unveils new additions to their 2024 Tata IPL panel

Delhi: JioCinema unveiled new additions to their panel for the 2024 Tata Indian Premier League. Virender Sehwag will headline the newly introduced Haryanvi language presentation on JioCinema. Ajay Jadeja will make his debut as a Gujarati language expert. The former India captain and MI Emirates batting coach will also feature in Hindi and Hangout feeds.

IPL player Shane Watson and former New Zealand coach and Director of Cricket at Royal Challengers Bangalore Mike Hesson, Sehwag, and Jadeja are also included in the panel. 

After playing for Delhi Daredevils and Kings XI Punjab, Sehwag took on a mentor’s role with the Punjab franchise. Manvinder Bisla, man of the match of the 2012 IPL Final, will also join Sehwag in the Haryanvi feed.

After winning titles with Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, Watson continues his illustrious journey in the Tata IPL with JioCinema. He won the Player of the Tournament in the inaugural season with the Royals while his match-winning 117* for CSK in the 2018 Final against Sunrisers Hyderabad has gone down as one of the best knocks ever in the IPL.

Mike Hesson will extend his journey with the Tata IPL as an expert with JioCinema. After having coached Kings XI Punjab, and worked as a director of cricket operations with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, he will sit alongside some of the players he coached in the IPL including Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers.

“The response we got for our deep and wide presentation of the Tata IPL 2023 from our viewers, advertisers, and cricket fanatics was heartening and we are doubling down on our innovations and initiatives for Tata IPL 2024,” said Viacom18 Sports Head of Content Siddharth Sharma. “This season we continue to elevate the experience with bigger names, deeper engagement with core, casual and curious fans through unique propositions like Hero Cam, Viral Weekends and the introduction of Haryanvi feed headlined by the iconic Virender Sehwag.”

JioCinema aims to offer a total of 18 feeds this year, including last year’s Insiders and Hangout feeds, newly introduced Hero Cam feed and a new proposition called Viral Weekend.
