Chris Gayle wins the toss and chooses to field. It takes only three deliveries for that decision to become uncomfortable for India Champions: Naman Ojha edges behind, then Ambati Rayudu is run out attempting a quick single.

Those opening wickets give Sports Central by DRM's India Champions-West Indies Champions broadcast a sharp beginning. The live upload has drawn more than 350,000 views in eight hours, far beyond the channel's usual early pace for long broadcasts.

The World Championship of Legends match brings Gayle and Yuvraj Singh together as opposing captains at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Before play, the commentators describe it as a virtual quarter-final, with qualification at stake. India makes three lineup changes, but the first over soon becomes the more pressing subject: Fidel Edwards finds Ojha's outside edge, and Sheldon Cottrell's direct hit sends Rayudu back without scoring either.

Sports Central, a clips and sports-coverage channel operated by Dot Republic Media, is carrying the match broadcast rather than staging the contest. Its South Africa Champions-England Champions live upload is also drawing an unusually large early audience, though the India-West Indies broadcast has attracted more than twice as many views over the same opening period. Full-match highlights of India-West Indies are running well above the channel's usual start too.

The small comment section raises a different cricket question. Two viewers ask about technology for leg-before-wicket decisions, shifting attention from the opening dismissals to how the games are officiated.
