113.7 million watched India vs. Aus ODI: Not Howzzat but Whozzat?

Sweeping four victories out of five matches, the Indian men’s Cricket team garnered as high as 113.7 million viewers for a single match in the recent India vs Australia ODI series. At Zapr Media Labs, we were curious to see not just how people watched the series on TV, but who exactly tuned in?

To find out, we ran a demographic analysis on match viewers and found out which age and gender groups expressed a higher affinity for the Cricket series. We also studied mobile-handset data which interestingly points out to above-average spending power among Ind vs. Aus ODI viewers. Check it out:

The ODI series witnessed stable viewership spread across six matches, with only a slight dip on 21st Sept (90.11 million).  The series saw a peak on 24th Sept with 113.79 million viewers tuned in for the match that sealed India’s victory at the ODIs.
