Harsh Goenka Question BCCI For IPL 2026: You too might have heard from your friends or close ones that ‘this time i.e. 2026 IPL is not fun.’ This time the 19th season of the tournament is being played. More than half the league matches have been played in the season. Slowly the caravan seems to be moving towards the playoffs. Meanwhile, Harsh Goenka, brother of Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjeev Goenka and chairman of RPG Enterprises, has further deepened the question of ‘I am not enjoying IPL’ by sharing some statistics on social media.

While sharing a post on social media, he told how this time the number of people watching IPL on TV has decreased by 26%. With this figure, the second question that arose was whether people were getting bored with the Indian Premier League? So let us know what was the whole story of Harsh Goenka.

IPL became a batting spectacle

Harsh Goenka wrote in his post, “Allegedly the TV viewership of IPL has decreased by 26%. BCCI should take action in this regard because instead of being a cricket competition, IPL has become just a batting spectacle.”

Apart from this, he also gave some suggestions regarding the tournament, which can bring improvement.

• Pitches should be balanced where bowlers are important
• Impact player rule should be reconsidered
• More participation of fans through franchise
• Better stadium experience: toilets, seating, food, accessibility.

In the end, Harsh Goenka wrote, “Cricket is most exciting when there is uncertainty and balance… and not just 225 vs 225 every night.”

IPL TV viewership reportedly down 26%. @BCCI should take it seriously as IPL has become a batting exhibition instead of a cricket contest.

A few fixes:
– Balanced pitches where bowlers matter
– Rethink the Impact Player rule
– Stronger fan engagement by franchises
-Better…
