CPL live streaming in India

The CPL 2020 organizers were sweating until recently regarding the CPL live streaming in India. However, the CPL 2020 managed to crack a deal with Star Sports recently once again. According to reports from InsideSport and Mumbai Mirror, the CPL 2020 telecast in India will be available on Star Sports Network. But the digital rights of CPL live streaming in India are with FanCode by Dream Sports. This means that unlike last year when Star India had both broadcast and digital rights of the Caribbean Premier League, it will only be having the television rights this time. Some reports claim that it is on Star's insistence due to COVID-19 affecting the sports media market.
