JioCinema set a new world record as 3.2 crore concurrent viewers watched IPL final match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans on May 29, 2023.
Chennai Super Kings claimed a record-equalling fifth Indian Premier League title with a five-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in a rain-affected but thrilling summit showdown on Monday.
JioCinema said its IPL 2023 presentation has continuously set new benchmarks and shattered records almost every week through the season, evidence to cricket fans’ preference.
The streaming platform recorded 2.57 crore concurrent viewers witnessing the sensational century by Shubman Gill in the first innings of Qualifier 2 of the TATA IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians on May 26.
On April 17, 2.4 crore viewers came together to watch MS Dhoni’s CSK defend against a high-octane run chase from Royal Challengers Bangalore with bated breath at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
This record was set after bettering the one set on April 12th of a peak concurrency touching 2.2 crore, again when Dhoni almost pulled off another heist against Rajasthan Royals.
“We are thrilled to announce that JioCinema has set a ground-breaking milestone by breaking the world record of concurrent viewers on digital,” said Viacom18 Sports CEO Anil Jayaraj. “It is a testament to our constant endeavour of offering unparalleled experience of TATA IPL to fans and viewers across every corner of the country.
