Why is IPL 2023 Auction Live Streaming Not Available on Hotstar?

Ahead of the 2023 season, BCCI sold the broadcast rights of Indian Premier League (IPL). And for the first time, the rights were won by two different groups. While Star Sports Network retained the broadcast or telecast rights, the digital rights or live streaming went to Viacom18. So, Star Sports will only provide the live telecast of IPL 2023 and thus it won't be available on its OTT Disney+ Hotstar. Viacom18's JioCinema or JioCinema will provide the live streaming online on its mobile app or website, and that too for free.
