India-Australia Test to be available in Hindi commentary in Australia [Source: @7Cricket/X.com]
In a big push to serve the cricket-obsessed Indian-origin audience in Australia, local free-to-air network '7 Plus' has tied up with Star Sports to telecast live an exclusive Hindi commentary feed of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. As part of this deal, Star Sports Hindi commentary for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be directly available in live stream for the Australian regional viewers on the 7 Plus platform.
With both teams closing in on final practice sessions ahead of the first Test at Perth scheduled from November 22, Border-Gavaskar Trophy fever has gripped India and Australia. Australian media, meanwhile, is maintaining the hype by publishing Virat Kohli on their front cover pages.
Verbal battles and mind games from the two sides have also started as former cricketers start criticising each other's opinion on public platforms.
Australia to telecast Hindi feed for BGT series
Needless to say, the hype for the much-awaited contest has peaked, and Australian broadcasters are not left behind as well. Local cricket broadcasting channel 7 Plus announced the streaming of a dedicated Hindi feed for Australian locals. 7 Plus reached an agreement with Indian media channel Star Sports where Star Sports' Hindi feed will be streamed live on the 7 Plus network.
This is to appease the Hindi-speaking fans in Australia and muster up some new wave of hype before the Pert Test. Also, the Star Sports Hindi feed has gained great mileage with viewers in India and has emerged as a must-watch for the Hindi-speaking fan base. So it was an excellent addition for cricket buffs in Australia as well.
In India, the series will be broadcasted live on Star Sports Network channels with Disney+Hotstar confirmed as OTT platform for live streaming.
