PSL’s Ratings Were Higher than IPL – PCB Chairman

After this, the PCB chairman held a press conference and told that this time the digital viewership of PSL was 150 million, whereas the digital viewership of IPL is only 130 million and this is a big deal. They said,

This time the crowd broke records and the sale of tickets also broke records. Let’s talk about digital. PSL was in its halfway stage and then I asked about the digital ratings. The Najam Sethi show used to get 0.5 ratings on TV while PSL is getting more than 11 ratings. So the rating on completion would be 18 or 20. Over 150 million people watched it digitally. This is not a small thing. IPL had a digital rating of 130 million at the same stage, while PSL has a rating of over 150 million. This is a big success of Pakistan.
