STARZPLAY, ranked consistently among the region’s top subscription services, has announced that it is adding the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 to its unrivaled cricket lineup via CricLife, from March 31 to May 28, 2023. Fans can watch the IPL 2023 matches live on CricLife 1 on their smart TVs, smartphones, or tablets in HD quality on the STARZLAY app.
This TATA IPL 2023 season looks to be the most hotly contested yet, with last year’s winners, the Gujrat Titans, aiming to retain the TATA IPL crown after their IPL 2022 final win over the Rajasthan Royals in their debut IPL season.
The Punjab Kings have invested heavily with English all-rounder Sam Curran, who became the most expensive player in the history of the TATA IPL during the 2023 mega-auction as the side shelled out an unprecedented INR18.5 crore for Curran, whose base reserve price was INR2 crore.
