Let us take a closer look at the rivalry between the two YouTube giants and see if there’s any chance for PewDiePie to recover.
PewDiePie vs T-Series: Has PewDiePie Lost The Battle?
PewDiePie is now lagging behind T-Series by as many as 2.7 Million subscribers! This is a massive number by every count and the first time that such a sizable distance between the two channels has appeared in favor of T-Series.

Given that Kjellberg is a content creator while T-Series owns a large chunk of Bollywood music, it appears that it will be hard for PewDiePie to return to the popularity and beat T-Series ever again. However, releasing controversial tracks like Bitch Lasagna and the Congratulations Diss Track can help Kjellberg grow his subscriber base once again.

Reasons Behind The Surge in Popularity of T-Series
One of the biggest reasons as to why T-Series has managed to surpass the subscriber count of PewDiePie is because a lot more Indians suddenly have access to mobile internet than ever before!
