We can. We got different commentary teams on Sony and Hotstar. Back when Sony had the TV and Star had the digital rights.

Are you sure they had different commentary team and separate graphics in 2015-2017?

Without Sony. Streaming rights will go to Amazon and Viacom will pick the tv rights. Good for both. Viacom can grow their TV network and Amazon has the tech and infrastructure to handle 4K streaming. Star will then become aggressive with overseas rights of cricket along with ICC rights. Sony can bank on BCCI rights along with Premier League rights if the want. It's gonna be a healthy competition. Viacom needs IPL.

If not Sony or Star, Prime is the only considerable options for bigger reach on digital platforms.
