With the T20 World Cup around the corner, we can view the matches digitally via JioHotstar. Even though users have to purchase a subscription for JioHotstar, users of Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea (VI) can view their premium content for free. These telecom companies are offering their users some of their prepaid plans that offer regular calling and data offers along with free access to premium content on JioHotstar. Hence, users can view their favourite matches of the T20 World Cup live without having to subscribe to JioHotstar. Here are some of the prepaid plans that you can recharge with to watch the T20 World Cup live for free.
This plan is a dedicated ‘Cricket Data Pack’ designed for fans on a budget. It offers 5GB of high-speed data with a validity of 30 days. The standout benefit is that it includes a 30-day JioHotstar Mobile subscription. It is the most affordable way to watch the tournament on your smartphone or tablet. Since it is a data voucher, users must have an active base plan for it to function.

It is ideal for those who want to watch the entire T20 World Cup and have leftover access for upcoming bilateral series or original content on the platform.
The Rs 44 plan is a unique, ultra-low-cost sachet pack and currently the cheapest way to unlock the platform. While the 1GB of data provided is only valid for one day (until midnight), the JioHotstar Mobile subscription lasts for a full 30 days.

Considered one of the most balanced vouchers in the lineup, the Rs 169 plan provides 8GB of data with a 90-day validity. Just as in the Rs 151 plan, it comes with a JioHotstar Mobile subscription, which is valid for the next 3 months, but the increased capacity of the data allows for the streaming of the match in better quality without exhausting the data limit in the middle of the game.
The Rs 100 data pack gives users 6GB of high-speed data over a 30-day period. This data pack is accompanied by a 30-day Jio Hotstar Mobile subscription, allowing users to access the World Cup match streaming service while on the move.
This data pack is a data add-on, meaning that users have to have an unlimited calling plan to use this data pack on their SIM card.
The Rs 195 plan of Airtel provides 12GB of data along with 30 days of validity. Additionally, with this plan, customers get a one-month subscription to Jio Hotstar Mobile, as well as additional benefits of Airtel Xstream Play.
