What's new

Pakistan Super League 2019 telecast banned in India

Wouldn't be surprised even if it's banned forever.

Heard Sidhu has been kicked out of Kapil Sharma show too due to his views.
 
Blaming a country before investigations even had started.

Linking sports to non sport related matters. Pathetic.
 
Good for them.

But a childish response as usual, the channel is going to lose the money they paid for TV rights.
 
Typically desperate, but I wonder how much the PSL will take a hit because of whatever amount of Indian audience they might have had in past seasons.
 
D sports will lose money.

On a side note, from next season no channel in India will purchase rights, as any such incident and they may lose the money which they paid, without even telecasting.

First players banned from IPL
Then no bilateral cricket with Pak
Now, PSL banned.

Who knows, telecast of Pak international matches may also be banned

That's hard to achieve, since the current broadcasters pick up international rights based on venue (eg New Zealand to Star, South Africa to Sony etc.) so if we're not able to watch Pakistan, why shouldn't we be able to watch SA/NZ either?

Both us and Pakistan are such grade-A donuts - aunties fighting with handbags, nothing more.

That is extreme. IPL was never banned in Pakistan despite double standards from BCCI by banning our players.

We are doomed buddy .thanks for telling us what we already knows.

Not a big impact it will serve but have a feel for kashmir audience who does follow that

We still have PTV sports in Kashmir though but watching matches on PTV is not less than a torture.
It's quite weird that they have banned PSL but I am not that surprised.
I guess people outside from Kashmir won't be able to watch this years PSL.

India did not shelter anti social elements and IPL does not need Pakistan to flourish .Pakistan TV channel need IPL to get ratings.

Yea, such an insignificant non sports related matter.

UN used the important term “claimed.” It does not specify investigations have been completed so again I will disregard your post and stick to my point.

Significant or insignificant, I have no sympathy. I’ve lost family members in Srinagar because they refused to lick the officer’s shoe. So for me this is pretty ordinary in context, numb.

it would be interesting to compare ipl ratings vs psl rating in Pakistan.

This guy is doing bhangra in every other thread about this.i wish he have read what is written

Let me repeat for you .Last year not a single sports channel of pak have telecast ipl .

Pak fans are more intersted in there league which makes sense i think

Obviously PSL ratings are higher in Pakistan and I guess IPl wasn’t even televised last year. I guess IPL becomes bit slow in the middle period even for Indian fans as well

They paid for broadcasting rights and now they can’t even show the matches.

Money gone down the drain for them really. But this will make it hard for PSL to sell broadcasting rights in India from next year.

There are some reason for pak fans not watching ipl. Too many leagues now days .pak plays too much t20s and now pak have his own league which have huge fan folllowing also pak players not playing in ipl so interest is not there

PSL was not televised in the past yet some Indian fans watched it online.

you are not getting the point. Despite ban on Pak players the IPL was televised in Pakistan and TV channel bought the rights and their office was not attacked and they were not asked to stop airing IPL.

talking about terrorist attacks, Pakistan has suffered the most when it comes to terrorism. We have lost 60k+ people from 2005 to 2016. We all know Indian secret embassies opened in Afghanistan to aid terrorists and fund them. There is no secret behind Indian full fledged support behind Karzai who was known for hiding and funding anti-Pakistani elements.
 
Maybe our friends at GEO should show some backbone and stop IPL telecasts in Pakistan - we live in hope.
 
Question is, will they forfeit the 2019 World Cup match against us in the 'Round Robin' stage?
Let's see where their hysterical Protests and Principals are then.

And if we both get to the Final, will they have the bottle to play us, given that they still haven't got over the 'Fathers Day' thrashing?
 
One thing that United us was cricket in pakpassion. Maybe we can view our political views on some other forums.
 
If they cannot control the mess they have created for themselves in Kasmir , Pakistan is always there for to blame for. Easy solution.

pak government can do the same, I am more interested in banning Indian drama and Entertainment channels which promotes very bad things. Cricket is not an issue to shown if it is not *** for tat.

We got over it fairly quickly. It's you people, who are still not getting over it and we saw how that hangover was washed off in the Asia cup.
 
This much is clear. Indians are totally on the side of India's narrative on Kashmir attack. Pakistanis are on Pakistan's side. No fence sitters in evidence.

I am just happy Indian posters on PP are still here. Tells me, despite misgivings, people can exchange viewpoints in a forum which rises above point scoring.
 
IMG Reliance an Indian company is the production company for PSL
So what next?

The general public in both the countries have nothing to with any of this mess.

Don't know man. What I see or read, it's all fite and brimstone. Even in this thread, despite restraint, both sides are clear in their view.

I am just glad for this forum where one can talk cricket and be done with it.

On the contrary - I hope GEO don't stoop to these immature levels and continue giving fans who want to watch the IPL the opportunity to do so. No need to stoop to their level.
 
Who cares. PSL is for the Pakistani audience. They can be as petty as they want.
 
Lol, didn't even know that it was being telecast in India.
 
Good. No one gives a flying F. Indians need more starplus anyways

Absolutely. I hope we show IPL and all indian matches. I dont care what indians do, the indian government does not represent all of the population. There is no need to become the evil we are trying to fight.

Lets not be emotional and get offended by this. We dont have to imitate the wrong, audience in Pakistan should be allowed to watch IPL if they want to. There is no point in involving politics in sports.

Why shouldn't we? Personally I would also ban all trade.
 
Politics being played out in sports once again. Those agreeing with the sentiment and nodding their heads are the exact reason why we have a ***-for-tat type manoeuvres and will continue doing so.

That boycott will help Pakistan team. I dont think anyone in India is in a mood to help Pakistan team at this point in time.
 
Dont think there is a ban. D Sports itself decided not to show matches as public sentiments are clearly not conducive.

40 soldiers died occupying land illegally. Loss of any life is always sad but I dont remember this much outcry by anyone for the kids being blinded and hundreds of people being murdered by the same occupying soldiers. The alleged person involved was a kashmiri who had been tortured not someone with Pakistani nationality. India is throwing its toys out if the pram this has git nothing to do with Pakistan or the Pakistani cricket team

Because you cannot equal pettiness by being petty yourself. Theres no point in dragging things in the dirt because it can get you dirty too.

Why ban trade? Why sacrifice on exports which are worth million of dollars?
 
India did not shelter anti social elements and IPL does not need Pakistan to flourish .Pakistan TV channel need IPL to get ratings.

Please dont be under the impression that IPL is a high rating event in Pakistan. It was aired by Geo Super (which was a dead channel in itself at that time) and was not even aired last year in Pakistan.

There is almost no demand for IPL in Pakistan thanks to PSL and Pakistan being the number one t20I team.

Thats why i get surprised when Indians claim that they can obliterate international cricket by playing IPL over a period of six or more months. No ones going to watch that league other than Indians, and cricket is going to die in reality.

IPL is widely watched. Supersports offered more money for IPL than CSA's own now defunct Global T20 league. Bidders from around the world bid for IPL tv rights. So lots of people other than Indians watch IPL.

There are lots of indians in other countries as well.
No one watches the ipl except indians and that's a fact. Stop denying it

Agreed. In the end everyone is forced to be part of this rubbish war program. This is 2019 and we are wasting resources for all the wrong reasons instead of eradicating poverty and unemployment.

South Africa has a sizable indian population and so do a lot of countries in the world, however, at the end of the day its still Indians or NRIs.

You might have some pockets of non-indians but honestly no one cares about other country's domestic league. Same goes for PSL, BBL etc.
 
With the amount hatred there is for Pakistan in India, do people even watch PSL there?
 
:)) good decision

THe channel already bought the rights from PSL, so now whether they braodcast it or not thats there problem, PSL broadcaster got the money.
 
Until the last couple of years, IPL was free in the UK and got around 400,000 viewers and most of them were Indians, with some PK's.

Pakistan is suffering due to its policies not due to other countries. India is enduring this mess just due to Pakistan.

There are so many other neighbours to India but it is only the mess from Pakistan which is creating the headache .

Your own journalist from India on Twitter said that not even Bhutan wants to be friend with India and Modi's thought of isolating Pakistan has failed miserably. And Pakistan is now taking more advantage of it's geographical location.

Plus Khulbushan Yadav is a living proof with all his statements that how India funded all the terrorism and everything in Pakistan.

Stop denying the facts and think being a neutral guy rather than a patriotic countryman.
 
Why do these indians think they have such high morality? Why don't the accept there wrong doings and all they have done in kashmir. Everyone knows that.
We Pakistanis atleast admit that we are far from being pure but so are you indians.
Not like u haven't contributed tp anything wrong in Pakistan
And stop blaming Pakistan the bomber was a Kashmiri (who you claim to be indian)

Taking innocent lives in retaliation is not an answer to anything. Where will it end.
