As India Pakistan in the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 match on Saturday comfortably on Saturday, October, broadcaster Star Sports announced that Disney+ Hotstar had crossed 3.5 cr viewers during the match.
This concurrency number is a new record, bypassing the streaming platform’s reported 2.8 cr viewers it registered during the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 super four round match in September this year.
For Disney Star, this jump in concurrency numbers is significant in the larger scheme of things, with reports of the company mulling a stake sale or partnership of some form quoting unnamed sources doing the rounds.
Sajith Sivanandan – Head, Disney+ Hotstar India said, “We would like to thank all the fans who tuned-in to watch the India-Pakistan match on Disney+ Hotstar. Your love for the game is what made it possible for Disney+ Hotstar to break all the previous records across all cricket formats and hit a peak concurrency number of 3.5 crore viewers. As the cricketing rivalries continue, we’ll continue to honour our commitment towards delivering an unmatched viewing experience to all our users. We look forward to many more such experiences as the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup unfolds.”
