According to BARC data, the ongoing 13th edition of IPL registered 7 billion viewing minutes during the first 41 matches. This translates to a 28 percent hike in the viewing minutes.
On the other hand, the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) registered 5.5. billion viewing minutes. Despite aired on more channels the edition got only 5.5. billion viewing minutes for 44 matches.
The IPL fans who were not allowed to watch the IPL matches in the stadiums watched the matches on smartphones and computers. This is also a reason for the increase in viewing minutes.
Indian subscription video-on-demand streaming service Hotstar which streams the IPL matches in different Indian languages played a crucial role in the rise of viewing minutes. Four to five people can watch the matches at a time on different devices.
