Box
Cricket
League
2018
Creates
A
New
Viewing
Pattern!
The
show
is
aired
on
prime
time
slot
on
MTV
for
two
hours.
Apparently,
this
year's
BCL
has
managed
to
create
a
new
viewing
pattern
for
the
audience
with
appointment
viewing,
that
hasn't
been
achieved
in
a
long
time!
Ekta
Kapoor
Ekta
Kapoor
(Co-owner
Killer
MTV
BCL)
was
quoted
by
an
entertainment
portal
as
saying,
"This
year
the
response
to
BCL
on
MTV
and
the
digital
platform
has
been
phenomenal.
The
format
has
been
an
organic
fit
with
the
target
audience
of
MTV
and
together
we're
only
going
to
take
the
league
to
new
heights.
Here's
to
more
reality-cricket,
drama
&
entertainment."
BCL
Opens
With
Great
Numbers!
Ferzad
Palia
(Head
-
Youth,
Music
and
English
Entertainment,
Viacom18)
said,
"Box
Cricket
League
is
a
successful
franchise
so
there
was
a
great
responsibility
on
us
with
the
third
edition
being
telecasted
on
MTV.
I
am
glad
that
this
format
has
worked
well
with
our
viewer
base
and
has
opened
with
great
numbers.
We
are
looking
forward
to
continuing
this
momentum
for
the
entire
season."
BCL
Garner
Record
Viewership
In
The
First
Week!
According
to
the
report,
in
the
first
week
itself
the
sports
reality
show
garnered
record
viewership.
It
became
one
of
the
top-rated
shows
on
MTV.
Well,
we
must
thank
the
contestants
for
this.
This
season,
apart
from
popular
celebrities,
many
Bigg
Boss
11
contestants
are
seen
participating
on
BCL!
A
Different
Twist
On
BCL
Worked!
Anand
Mishra
(Marinating
films)
said,
"Being
a
2-hour
slot
it's
very
difficult
to
hold
the
audience
but
we
have
been
successful
in
doing
so.
We
have
tried
to
give
BCL
a
different
twist
this
time
and
it
seems
to
have
worked.
Also,
airing
it
on
MTV
has
helped
the
youth
format
connect
with
the
show."
BCL
Controversies
The
sports
reality
show
is
known
for
behind
the
scenes
and
on-field
controversies.
Recently,
we
reported
about
Aly
Goni
losing
his
cool
and
Hiten
Tejwani
abusing
himself
and
calling
Arshi
Khan,
a
bad
luck.
Even
Arshi
and
Shruti
Ulfat
were
seen
locking
horns!
The
latest
one
is
Rakhi
Sawant
storming
out
of
the
field.
Rakhi
Sawant
Storms
Out
Of
The
Field!
Apparently,
during
one
of
the
matches
between
Goa
Killers
and
Delhi
Dragons,
Rakhi
was
seen
dancing
with
the
rival
team,
when
the
(rival)
team
member
hit
a
six!
Rakhi
was
questioned
for
disrespecting
her
team,
which
didn't
go
well
with
her
and
she
stormed
out
of
the
field.
Rakhi
Says
The
Team
Is
Pressurising
Her!
When
Rakhi
was
asked
as
to
why
she
did
so,
she
said,
"I
am
dancer
and
I
cannot
control
myself
when
the
music
is
played.
My
team
is
pressuring
me
and
I
cannot
play
in
such
conditions."
