Global & NRI Fan Interest
India's dominance across ODI and T20I formats — combined with Australia's Test-cricket supremacy and England tying India at the T20I summit — makes the current cricket window especially rich for NRI followers. Diaspora viewership in the United States (via ESPN+ / Willow), the United Kingdom (Sky Sports), UAE, Singapore, Australia, and Canada is at multi-year highs. Watch parties around ICC events, and increasingly the Major League Cricket (MLC) domestic season, are becoming fixtures in NRI community calendars in Dallas, Toronto, and London.
