The Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) Season 2 is off to a record-breaking start, drawing over 15 million viewers across the first 11 matches, thanks to its new broadcasting partner, Jio Star Network, The Economic Times reported.
The league, which celebrates India’s passion for street cricket, has witnessed a 32 percent surge in TV viewership compared to its inaugural season, marking a significant rise in popularity.
The league’s thrilling action unfolded at the Dadoji Kondadev Stadium in Thane, with nail-biting contests keeping audiences engaged. The highlight of the season so far has been the dominant performance of Amitabh Bachchan-owned Majhi Mumbai, which became the first team to secure a playoff spot after a spectacular eight-match winning streak.
Building on this momentum, ISPL has announced the addition of two new teams for Season 3, further expanding the tournament’s scale and reach. With street cricket serving as the foundation of the league, ISPL aims to provide a platform for grassroots talent, transforming local players into national sensations.
