Streaming cricket at massive scale: lessons from JioStar's CTO. Streaming cricket in India. Cricket is not just a sport in India. It's the fabric of society and delivering it to tens of millions of people at the same time is the ultimate stress test for live streaming infrastructure. After a successful partnership to stream the IPL in India, Akash Saxena, CTO of JioStar, spoke with Xavier Leclercq, VP Business Development at Broadpeak, about what it takes to stream live cricket to audiences measured in tens of millions The conversation focused on practical challenges: sudden traffic spikes, infrastructure choices, monetization at scale, and constant pressure from piracy. Live streaming at a scale few platforms face. For JioStar, traffic does not build gradually. It jumps. Key moments in a match can trigger 4 to 5 million additional viewers within seconds. The IPL has already set major concurrency milestones, from 32 million streams in 2023 to 63 million in 2024 and 55 million in 2025, and teams are now preparing for events that could approach 100 million concurrent viewers within a few years. At that level, the challenge is not average traffic. It is handling sharp, unpredictable surges across mobile devices and connected TVs, without service degradation. That is the reality JioStar is engineering for. Hybrid delivery as a strategic choice. To sustain this scale, JioStar relies on a hybrid delivery architecture, combining public cloud CDNs with infrastructure deployed deep inside telecom networks. Broadpeak plays a role in this ecosystem as a technology partner, contributing to content delivery for live cricket events. As Akash explains, no single CDN can handle this level of demand alone. The goal is proximity: getting content as close as possible to users to improve quality, reduce latency, and control costs. This engineering approach is driven by the sheer scale of the task: resilience, efficiency, and control designed in from the start. And once delivery reaches this scale, monetization has to evolve with it. To hear Akash Saxena walk through these challenges and explain how live streaming at this scale actually works, watch the full interview with Xavier Leclercq below.
