Champions back Champions in a script reversal for JioStar’s Men’s T20WC 2026 film

Key Highlights

• With a gripping background score and cinematography, the film depicts one set of World Champions cheering another.
• Conceptualized by the JioStar Creative Team, the campaign weaves two seminal moments together between the national men’s and women’s teams to build excitement for India’s title defence of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at home- a feat no host nation has managed yet.

• Speaking about the film, Siddharth Sharma, Head – Sports Content, JioStar said, “As the Indian Men’s Cricket Team prepares to embark on a historic ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, striving to become the first ever back to back champions, it was apt for the reigning women’s World Champions to lead the charge in rallying support for the Men in Blue.” “This film was created to depict champions cheering champions– for Team India to repeat history on the biggest stage of all and to energise a billion fans who are longing to see Team India lift the trophy once again at home,” he said.
