The broadcaster was thrilled to announce the new record viewership, with Disney+ Hotstar head Sajith Sivanandan paying special tribute to the fans who were tuning in.

“We want to thank our users who flocked to Disney+ Hotstar for the thrilling game between India vs. New Zealand, and helped us reset the world record for concurrent viewers for a live streaming event,” Sivanandan said.

“We served 4.3 crore concurrent viewers (43 million) at its peak during the match – a historical high and easily surpasses the 3.5 crore number (35 million) previously set for the India vs Pakistan match in the same tournament. 

“As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 enters its business end and as it grabs the attention of India increasingly, we will continue to strive towards bringing these memorable moments to our users’ screens.”

The tournament hosts won New Zealand, which means they remain the only unbeaten side at the event and alone in the tournament standings.
