SO MANY SIXES! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Opens The Batting For India
A burst of six-hitting brought New Zealand Cricket its biggest new audience, but the live scorecards tell the other half of this week's story. The official channel kept domestic grounds and the New Zealand A-India A series on screen alongside the international highlights.
"SO MANY SIXES! Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Opens The Batting For India" reached roughly 2.7 million views. His first delivery goes straight down the ground for four; later, a shot over point sails into the crowd. The innings ends with a catch off Fisher, after a brief, boundary-heavy stay. Viewers compare the hitting with Chris Gayle's and recall Sri Lanka's attacking opening partnership of Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana.
Abhishek Sharma's rapid century supplied another highlights package. Among the live broadcasts, Auckland's Ford Trophy meeting with Canterbury at Eden Park Outer Oval drew the largest audience of the week's listed streams.
The strongest momentum now belongs to longer appointments: day two of New Zealand A against India A at Hagley Oval, followed by Otago hosting Central Stags at University Oval. Wellington's meeting with Canterbury at the Basin Reserve is also drawing fresh viewing.
The channel added about 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is now around half its usual level. Its weekly views were the highest among the neighbouring sports channels here, while Wimbledon and World Surf League are enjoying above-usual daily viewing. For New Zealand Cricket, the busiest screens now carry the patient rhythms of four-day cricket and the domestic one-day competition.
