The India-Pakistan match on Disney+ Hotstar on September 11 set a new record for ODI with a concurrency of 2.8 crore viewers, the platform claimed.

The viewership, said the platform, surpassed the earlier record of 2.53 crore simultaneous viewers set by the India vs. New Zealand semi-final match during the 2019 World Cup.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah too shared the viewership numbers.
