Indian audiences really had a tough time finding a television channel to watch the second New Zealand-India T20I in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. A primary reason for the same was no popular television channel broadcasting India’s tour of New Zealand 2022 in India.
It is worth mentioning that Doordarshan Sports (Free Dish) is broadcasting these matches in India but only for people who have a free Dish Box and not any regular cable/DTH subscription.
