While the preference of media coverage is more often a subjective choice, there have been a few exceptions, which have stood out from the lot, leaving a positive impression in the minds of everyone.
Let us talk about about one such show, which is unanimously declared the best for its no-nonsense content throughout the 2023 World Cup.
Which has been the best Cricket World Cup 2023 sports show?
Pakistan went through a horrible campaign in the World Cup 2023, facing a league-stage exit. However, the best thing that happened to Pakistan during this period is a sport channel offering of Pakistan's largest media network ARY - 'The Pavilion.'
Comprising of a host and former cricketers, The Pavilion is known for its simplicity, aiming at an earnest try to educate the audiences about various moments of the matches through their easy-to-understand analysis.
It airs on A Sports, a Pakistan TV channel, where the host Fakhr-e-Alam and four former captains - Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, Moin Khan and Wasim Akram - sit together to discuss about various facets of the game with a touch of humour.
The show also received praise from former India skipper Sourav Ganguly, who in an interview with A Sports said:
I watch all of them…Wasim Akram, Misbah-ul-Haq and Moin Khan. I follow their show regularly.
Another show, 'Cricket Live', a part of the coverage of Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the Cricket World Cup 2023, has taken the broadcasting industry to a whole new level with its player-driven stories.
It boasts an iconic panel of former cricketers, including Sunil Gavaskar, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Ravi Shastri, Gautam Gambhir and many more. There was no lack of international cricketers too. Aaron Finch, Imran Tahir, Shane Watson, Matthew Hayden and Dale Steyn added to their rich coverage throughout the World Cup.
It also cut across the language barrier, offering variety to the fans. It conducted the pre-match show in as many as five languages - Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, adding to the captivating match experience.
