The first Test between England and India at Headingley brought not just exciting cricket, but also a wave of online reactions to the new scorecard graphics used by broadcasters JioHotstar and Sony Sports. While some fans liked the fresh design, many others were unhappy and voiced their opinions on social media.
Many viewers felt the graphics were too flashy, colourful, and crowded. At the same time, some fans supported the new style. They appreciated the larger font sizes, which made it easier to read scores on mobile devices. Others liked seeing player pictures and quick stats displayed on the screen.
The debate quickly spread across platforms like X, Instagram, and Reddit. Some fans asked the broadcasters to go back to a simpler, cleaner design, similar to older versions that focused more on the game and less on visual effects.

With so many people talking about the graphics, changes may be considered in the coming matches. Whether the design stays or gets updated, it’s clear that fans want a viewing experience that keeps the focus on the cricket.
