IPL vs Champions League





The above is twitter map of CLT20  vs IPL2013 . As we can see, IPL generated 7 times more tweets than CLT20.  However, we have to take into account the fact that IPL was played well close to 2 months while Champions League T20 was played over only 20 days

In addition, CLT20 featured 23 matches while IPL has close to 76 matches.




The average tweets per match in IPL was almost double that of CLT20. On an average, IPL attracted close to 50k tweets per match while CLT20 had close to 25k tweets.

UK watched IPL with immense interest while it almost forgot CLT20. Two reasons can be attributed to this. One is lack of interest in CLT20 among Indian population and another is lack of English teams in CLT20

The most convenient thing in this comparison is both IPL and CLT20 happened in same time zone and hence, one more less problem to worry about when handling this data.

A big thanks to @vm1689 for pulling out all the data. A similar article on IPL was published in Sportstar magazine. You can read that here
