The home-coming of the League has reflected positively for television viewership. According to data available with aMap, the ratings for Day One's cricketing action (Top 6 metros, C&S 15+) - Deccan Chargers versus Kolkata Knight Riders - showed a 22% jump from 3.5 last year to 4.3 this year. The match began at 20:00 hrs and went on till midnight.

The ratings reflected a marginal jump of 4% from 4.1 in the first season to 4.3 in this season of IPL.

Over and above, the net reach was 14% this season as compared to 12.6% in Season Two and 11.9% in Season One of the IPL.

On Saturday, the second day of the new season, viewership numbers had their own surprises. The ratings for the nail-biting Mumbai Indians versus Rajasthan Royals match saw ratings drop from 4.3 (as on Day One) to 3.5 while net reach was at 13.3%.
