JioHotstar Secures India vs England Test Streaming Rights
Cricket lovers, take note. JioHotstar now holds the exclusive digital rights for the India vs England Test series. The streaming rights were sub‑licensed from the Sports Play‑Now India (SPNI) network, while Sony Sports TV channels keep the traditional broadcast. That means you won’t find the matches on Sony LIV, but you can catch every moment live on JioHotstar.
The five‑Test showdown, renamed the Tendulkar‑Anderson Trophy, ended in a 2‑2 draw and smashed streaming records. At peak, 13 million viewers tuned in simultaneously, and the series logged a total of 170 million views. If you missed any game, the replay library on JioHotstar is ready for you.
Why does this matter? For one, the shift shows how digital platforms are outpacing traditional TV in India’s sports market. It also signals that future cricket deals may lean heavily toward streaming services, giving fans more flexibility but also demanding reliable internet connections.
Tragic Cylinder Blast in Uttar Pradesh’s Mau District
A different kind of headline hit the news this week: a gas cylinder explosion in Mau, Uttar Pradesh, claimed five lives. The blast erupted when a household cylinder malfunctioned, causing a massive fire that emergency crews couldn’t control in time.
The incident has sparked a conversation about safety standards for gas cylinders across India. Experts stress the importance of regular inspections, proper storage away from heat sources, and using certified cylinders only. If you rely on LPG at home, double‑check the expiry date and make sure the valve is secure before lighting a stove.
Local authorities are now investigating the cause and looking into stricter regulations for cylinder vendors. Meanwhile, humanitarian aid is being coordinated for the victims’ families, and community groups are urging people to share safety tips on social media.
What can you do right now? Keep a fire extinguisher handy, know the nearest emergency number, and educate everyone in your house about what to do if a cylinder leaks – turn off the gas, ventilate the area, and call professionals.
These two stories illustrate how news can range from the excitement of a cricket series to the sobering reality of everyday safety. Both highlight the role of technology – whether it’s a streaming platform reshaping sports consumption or digital alerts that can help prevent accidents.
