“The new UC Browser provides users with more interactive and intuitive cricket services,” said Abhishek Sharma, Director of Marketing Communications at UCWeb India. “With a lot of IPL action happening on weekdays where cricketing enthusiasts might not have the resources or the time to catch live matches, UC Browser is a boon.
