Our ‘Shor on, Game on!’ campaign is a tribute to fans who fuel the game and breathe life into it.

By bringing the biggest cricket stars together, combined with Star Sports’ high-quality broadcast, expert commentary, and a host of technological innovations, TV offers the best viewing experience for fans, allowing them to immerse themselves in the action and feel like they're right in the middle of the game.”
