IPL 2012 Statistics: All Viewership Numbers In Decline

We had spotted some interesting IPL Stats in the past and some real crazy cricket stats – maybe this is an industry thats nearing maturity now – we spotted this today:

“The first matches of the season had recorded an average Television Viewership Rating (TVR) of 3.76, 18.7% less than the previous season.[19] The viewership was also reportedly low for the opening ceremony with a rating of 1.3 TVR.[20] The downfall was attributed to the number of matches being played, as the count stands at 76 among 9 teams.[21] The rating continued to fall as the cumulative number of people who tuned in to watch those[which?] games also declined from 127.40 million to 122.44 million. The 12th match played between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals drew the highest rating of the season with a rating of 5.2, as of 20 April.[22]”
