Still coming to terms with the prospect of watching a full tour on a streaming platform, Indian audiences might adjust at a faster pace upon watching three ODIs within the next six days. Just like the T20Is, these three forthcoming ODIs will also be live streamed by streaming giant Prime Video in India.
Not that Indians don’t have an option of watching this series on a television channel but there was a lot of ambiguity regarding the same due to a restriction around Doordarshan Sports. It is noteworthy that DD Sports will be broadcasting the ODI series for everyone irrespective of whether one has a Free Dish box or not. A massive respite on the eve of the match has it in it to rejoice the Indian fans.
