Bigg Boss 17 clashing with Cricket World Cup 2023
Normally, Bigg Boss starts from the first week of October. This time, the makers have the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 to compete with. As we know, in every home that has a single TV set, the menfolk watch cricket matches. The matches which India is playing in the qualifying league stage are all starting from 2 pm. This means they will go on till night. A source close to the channel told us, “While the official date is not out, we are hearing that the makers will postpone it. No one will miss India’s matches in the World Cup. It just does not make sense to clash with the tournament viewership.”
