The best part about breasting the tape to No 1 is that T-Series has achieved it through just 15.71 million subscribers as against PewDiePie’s 53.23 million subs. (The gamer has run into trouble with Maker/Disney which has cancelled its contract with him as well as with YouTube which has revoked his preferred status and dustbinned season 2 of his show Scare PewDiePie following some anti-semitic jokes he cracked on some of his videos. So it’s quite likely that he is going to leave the field clear for T-Series to sprint even further).
