Star India CEO Uday Shankar said: “Cricket’s most prestigious event is upon us. As big as the event is, nothing is greater than brilliant sportsmanship that will eventually define Cricket’s World Cup. That defining moment may be in India successfully defending its World Champion title or a new nation rising to glory. Whatever the outcome in cricket’s greatest face-off in Australia and New Zealand, this edition of the Cup promises to be bigger and better.

“Working with channel partners globally to make this a widely covered WC”: Uday Shankar

"On the back of different feeds, Star has created sponsorship and spot buying options for English, Hindi, languages and HD feed among others. For the first time in live cricket, advertisers can buy different cuts, air creatives in different languages to target their audiences more sharply.
