On account of cricket crazy fans buying television sets to watch the IPL 2019 matches, LED TV sales have gone up to the tune of some 15 per cent, say industry insiders. Yes, it is clear that die hard fans will spend good money on TVs to watch stars like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle and others battle it out for the glittering trophy. The trend is expected to continue as a booster shot is expected from the ICC World Cup, which is scheduled to happen after the conclusion of IPL 2019. The effect may be bigger as Cricket World Cup has a much bigger fan base in India.

Commenting on the rise in LED TV sales Rajeev Chawla, Chairman, IamSMEofIndia told Zee Business online, "The LED TV sales of our member LED TV companies in the month of March witnessed around 15 per cent rise, which is huge. IamSMEofIndia members say that the rise is mainly caused by IPL 2019 and most importantly the affordable LED TV segment has registered around 30 per cent growth as these TVs costs just around Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000 and that too for a 32" set."
