During the much-anticipated India vs England 3rd ODI, several Hotstar viewers took to social media to report a technical glitch. Users complained that they were unable to change the streaming language as per their preference, with Hindi being the only available option.
Cricket matches on Hotstar are typically streamed in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, and Telugu, allowing fans across India to enjoy the commentary in their preferred language. However, during the live match, many viewers found themselves unable to switch from the default Hindi feed, leading to widespread outrage on X (formerly known as Twitter).
One user expressed their frustration on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Just cannot change the streaming language and quality is poor. Can’t change them, tried clearing cache but still wouldn’t work. @hotstar_helps.”
Another viewer echoed the issue, stating, “Audio feed is not working on Hotstar, only Hindi feed is available as of now. @DisneyPlusHS.”
A third user questioned whether others were facing the same problem, posting, “Am I the only one not able to change the language setting on Hotstar? I don’t want the Hindi commentary 🤦♀️#INDvENG @DisneyPlusHS.”
With a large portion of the audience relying on regional language commentary for an enhanced viewing experience, the glitch proved to be a major inconvenience.
