These names need more recognition. Restaurants airing India Vs SL match instead of Lakshya’s match or hockey..is just telling.
Sorry for the rant…
I don't think Cricket enthusiasts wer watching Cricket.
We our Cricket fans but my Father didn't knew today was a match, I knew bcoz I get notifications on phone.
I don't think people are watching India v SL as the match is boring and India isn't doing well.
Restaurants telecast Match bcoz mostly uss channel ka subscription hota hain and they don't usually telecast ott channels.
& people may be watching it on Sony channel and many won't be knowing about it.
Usse pehle we won Hockey, so kya pata logo ne channel change na kiya ho. They continued on Hockey wala itself.
Also totke bhi toh karte hain log, my father went to purchase vegetables saying main nahi dekhunga toh Lakshya jeet jayega as he didn't watch Lakshya ke live matches this whole Olympics.
But I can say Indians weren't watching India v SL over Badminton, definitely log dekh rahe honge but it won't be majority of Cricket fans.
