“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,” stated Siddharth Sharma, highlighting JioStar’s commitment to enhancing the viewing experience.
On March 28, 2026, as the TATA IPL season commenced, JioStar dismantled a large-scale digital piracy syndicate operating an unauthorized IPTV service known as BOS IPTV. This operation was reportedly offering access to over 10,000 linear channels and a library of more than 25,000 video-on-demand titles.
JioStar took decisive action by filing a criminal complaint at the Cyber Police Station in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, leading to the registration of an FIR (No. 0005 dated March 26, 2026) under multiple sections of Indian law. The website bostv.org, associated with the infringing service, has since been taken down.
The dismantling of this piracy operation is part of JioStar’s broader strategy to safeguard its content ecosystem and ensure a fair viewing experience for fans. With over 64,000 active subscribers affected by the illegal service, this move is expected to restore integrity to the broadcasting landscape.
In conjunction with this crackdown, JioStar announced an impressive lineup for the 2026 TATA IPL season, featuring over 150 presenters and experts. Notably, cricket star Ravichandran Ashwin will make his commentary debut in JioStar’s studios during the tournament.
Fans will benefit from JioStar’s commitment to accessibility, as the platform will offer matches in 12 different language options, catering to a diverse audience across India.
The 19th edition of TATA IPL promises to be a historic event, showcasing players from three different generations, further enhancing the league’s appeal.
As JioStar continues to combat piracy, the focus remains on delivering high-quality content and an unparalleled viewing experience for cricket enthusiasts. The next steps in this ongoing battle against digital piracy will be closely monitored.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further actions against other piracy operations, but JioStar’s proactive measures signal a strong stance against content theft.
