Chennai Super Kings: The Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) had witnessed a decline in viewership. According to reports published, viewership of the mega cricketing event has fallen by 28 percent this year.
The report mentioned that the IPL 2022 saw a drop of 33 percent in week 1, while there was a 28 percent drop in week two compared to the 2021 season of the tournament.
Regarding the decline in viewership RPG Chairman Harsh Goenka said “Why Ipl TV ratings are down- the crowd favorites MI and CSK are playing poor-heroes like Virat, Dhoni, Rohit haven’t fired yet-more matches causing fatigue- all matches in Mumbai region, 2 years of watching TV, people prefer to go out, Any other?”
But it seems the matches of CSK are not contributing to the decline of viewership.
