The JioCinema streaming app has experienced tremendous success among cricket fans who have been enjoying the IPL 2023 matches from the comfort of their homes. The app has undeniably captivated fans, as demonstrated by a video circulating on Twitter, where a cricket enthusiast can be seen relaxing on the seats of the IPL venue while watching the live action on his smartphone.

The video, shared by Twitter user @GabbbarSingh, pans away from the on-field cricket action to showcase the fan lying on his back and engrossed in the match on his smartphone. "I don't think JioCinema would find a better advertisement than this," remarked the Twitter user in the video's caption.




Since its upload, the video has garnered over 237K views. Twitter users expressed understanding for the fan's behavior, with one recalling Vijay Mallya, the owner of Royal Challengers Bangalore, constantly checking the TV in the VIP box during a match in Bangalore.

Another Twitter user highlighted the limitations of watching the game live, mentioning the difficulty in observing details like spin and reverse swing that are more visible on television. It seems many fans can relate to the allure of catching the action on their personal screens.
