Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The thrilling Australia-India Test series was not only one of the best in recent cricket history, it was also the most watched ever on Australian subscription television. Foxtel Group on Wednesday confirmed the enthralling finish to the fourth Test gripped the nation, with an average audience of 407,000 for the final session that saw Rishabh Pant guide his side to a remarkable and unlikely fifth-day victory. The average audience across the five days of the fourth Test was 341,000, up 54 per cent on the fourth Australia-India Test in 2018-19. It was the most-watched Brisbane Test ever on subscription television. Overall, the battle for the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy was the most-watched Test Series ever on subscription television, with an average audience of 371,000 over 100 hours of live play. The viewer average for the series was up 43 per cent on Australia’s 2018-19 Test Series against India and up 33 per cent on the 2019-20 Test Series against New Zealand. India’s tour has been one for the ages,” Fox Sports executive director Steve Crawley said. “The quality of cricket has been outstanding, we have seen established stars at the top of their game, new heroes emerge and our multicultural nation has loved it. We saw the ODI and T20 series break records, and after two months of cricket, it’s clear the nation could not get enough with new subscription television records set throughout the Test Series. “At Fox Sports, we want to bring the best sports alive for fans with the best commentary and production. We have been blessed with a great summer of cricket, including the BBL, and these outstanding audience figures reflect record numbers of sports fans love what our team do and are choosing to watch on Foxtel and stream on Kayo.” https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket...883d95d3441cc0 Link to comment

UK home of cricket and it is not even the 5th popular sport. They all watch football. Australia it is the third or fourth popular sport. India is an exception which drives it. If it is so popular why is there a T20?? Link to comment
