The ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 has smashed viewership records despite being held in the same window as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
The tournament, usually held in the February-March window, was shifted to April due to the Champions Trophy 2025.
The six-team tournament includes participation from Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Quetta Gladiators, Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi.
The 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League kicked off on April 11 as defending champions Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars faced off in the opening game at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Since then, PSL 10 has witnessed a whopping increase in the live streaming viewership.
