IPL 2020 season opener, Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings played on Saturday 19th September created new IPL record with a 200 million viewership over TV & Digital platforms.
Chennai won the first game by 5 wickets over defending Champions Mumbai Indians on Saturday. The increase in viewership is a welcome sign for IPL and it’s sponsors, but one could argue that “coronavirus restrictions and increase in usage of digital platforms by people contributed to record numbers”. Hopefully the numbers will keep increasing throughout this year’s competition to compensate direct revenue lost due to lack of fans in the stadiums.
