But there is one complete combiner that everyone across the country is unanimously passionate about, and that’s cricket! With our slate of powerful shows and movies over the last 6 years, we have strived to super-serve our customers, and they have emphatically picked Prime Video as their most loved entertainment target.”
“Now with live cricket, made immersive and accessible with multi-language feeds, fantastic studio programming, and a superb set of commentators to take us through the series, we are confident we are not just going to deliver on a superior experience for the legions of cricket fans in the country, but make Prime Video that much more exciting, delightful and the first choice of entertainment for everyone.”
