Najam `Sethi’s Bold Claim says the Indian Premier League's "Digital Rating Was 130 Million, Pakistan Super League's Is..."
On Saturday, the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League came to its conclusion, with Lahore Qalandars emerging as the winners. The Shaheen Afridi-led side defeated the Multan Sultans by one run in a thrilling summit clash. As the thrilling T20 league for Pakistan is now over, the fans are gearing up for the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, which will kick off on March 31.
IPL is regarded as the richest and most loved T20 league in the world due to its massive fan-following and nail-biting action. However, Pakistan Cricket Board Chief NajamSethi has now come up with a shocking opinion regarding the two leagues and stated that PSL is a bigger success than IPL in terms of digital ratings.
Sethi said in a press conference ahead of the PSL final, “Let’s talk about digital. PSL was only at the half stage, so I asked about our digital rating. The NajamSethi show used to have a 0.5 rating on TV, whereas PSL is getting a rating of more than 11. So, it would be 18 or 20, when it completes.”
He added, “Over 150 million people watched it digitally. It is not a small thing. At the same stage, IPL’s digital rating was 130 million and PSL’s was more than 150 million. So this is a great success for Pakistan.”
