Technical issues marred the digital broadcast of the Kolkata Knight Riders versus Rajasthan Royals IPL 2026 match on Sunday. Users of the newly merged JioHotstar platform reported persistent buffering and app crashes shortly after the toss at Eden Gardens. The disruptions led to a social media backlash, with the Jio Hotstar Down trend on X. Many subscribers criticised the platform's inability to handle peak traffic during this critical mid-season encounter. Despite high expectations, tonight’s server congestion suggests significant infrastructure challenges persist. You can follow the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Match Scorecard.
