IPL 2021 – A historic year for mobile

on

What’s inside

The biggest sporting event in India grew more significantly than ever this year, despite the absence of stadium crowds.

In 2020, the Indian Premier League (IPL) was played without fans in the stands for the first time in its history, which greatly expanded the role of mobile devices and at-home watch parties.

Yet, viewership surged.

According to data from the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC), the 13th season of IPL (IPL 13) registered a 30% year-on-year jump in viewing minutes per match.
