The Indian Premier League 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) featured numerous technical issues that infuriated the audience. There were frequent errors during the toss, when the batters came out to bat in the middle, and when they batted, particularly while Phil Salt and Virat Kohli were batting in the middle, which caused the audience to become collectively frustrated.
For TV viewers, everything went smoothly, but for mobile users, things were not so easy. A small problem prevented users from effortlessly seeing who won the toss in time when Rajat Patidar and Riyan Parag emerged for the toss. The captains were talking after the toss by the time the display appeared.
Viewers were eager to watch the pair of Salt and Kohli bat as they entered the middle after RCB was forced to bat first.
Unfortunately, while Virat was batting, there was another issue. The audience was quite irritated when the screen froze right before he faced Jofra Archer and company.
On social media, fans are trending #HotstarDown and #JiostarDown.
Fans became enraged over the spinning circle, which sparked a social media uproar. Fans were occasionally denied the option to select what they wanted, and the streaming quality was automatically lowered to 480 pixels. Jiostar failed to provide the viewers with the response they were expecting.
Some customers initially believed their network was the cause of the issue, but they quickly discovered that everyone experienced similar issues. Fans vented their annoyance on social networking sites like Instagram, X, and others. To convey their plight, they utilised hashtags such as #HotstarDown, #IPL2025, and #JiostarDown.
The IPL 2025 issues weren’t the first time they happened. A similar circumstance has arisen in a few of the matches. However, Jiostar’s failure to learn from their mistakes and the fact that fans were not allowed to see Virat in action caused a great deal of outrage among the audience.
