One could barely keep up with the viewership records broken during the league. The great digital leap set this season apart – IPL streamed free in many regional languages with a certain degree of interactivity at its core. Infact JioCinema , official streamer of IPL witnessed highest ever peak concurrency globally at 3.21 crore. It amassed mindboggling 700 crore plus video views over the season and reached over 12 crore unique viewers. The platform itself 2.5 crore app downloads in a single day. Digital IPL democratized for advertisers.
