The final day has received 290K plus live watching which just explains the kind of prominence that BGMI has in India. The final day hit 331K plus watching (Star Sports + Rooter) and this was achieved without the presence of India’s most-loved teams like Soul and Godlike in the Finals and the count would have gone higher if these teams were there in the competition.
