A Star India spokesperson said, “India’s love for cricket is phenomenal, and it is evident in the ever-growing viewership on Star Sports. As both, India and New Zealand, were in top form, it took the thrill of the game to a new level. After the record breaking ‘Home Season of Cricket’ that saw viewership grow across formats including record breaking numbers on Test cricket and also on marquee tournaments such as the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, the current home season reinforces the fact that the Star Sports network is truly the Home of Cricket.
