A tri-nation T20 competition, Nidahas Trophy, is scheduled in Colombo from March 6-18 between host Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India.
JioTV said that it is working with Sri Lankan Cricket to offer in-depth coverage of the triangular series, enabling millions in India to access live and catch-up content on their mobile devices.
