A week of many happenings!
Hi, there!
Sports fan or not – you’ve got to be excited today!
A number of historic match-ups are scheduled for later tonight – Manchester United v Liverpool in the English Premier League, Juventus v Inter in Serie A, El Classico in La Liga, and Verstappen v Hamilton in the front row of the US GP in Austin, Texas, to mention a few commercially important ones.
However, what Indians have been waiting for most this week is probably the good old India-Pakistan cricket match under the ICC T20 Men’s World Cup. Although the two countries have not played cricket after bilateral relations broke down back in 2008, cricket is almost next to religion in India and an India-Pakistan match never fails to keep us glued to our screens!
Not only is the Ind-Pak match a historic event, it also means business for advertisers. According to reports in Business Today, the asking rate starts at ₹23-25 lakh for a 10-second advertising spot for this game. By the end of the tournament, it is expected that broadcasting alone will generate revenues to the effect of ₹1,200-1,300 through television, and another ₹250-300 crore through Hotstar. No wonder the BCCI is the world’s richest cricketing body in the world!
But the BCCI isn’t rich because of international games or bilateral series. The main source of revenue for the BCCI is the IPL. The IPL in 2019 was valued at ₹475 billion (US$6.7 billion), according to Duff & Phelps. The BCCI, after the 2015 IPL season, contributed ₹11.5 billion (US$160 million) to the GDP of the Indian economy. They’ve also paid taxes worth ₹3600 million since the inception of the tournament in 2008.
To put things into perspective, here’s a list of tournaments sorted by the average salaries earned by players in it (source: Startuptalky.com). Globally, IPL is only second to the NBA, in terms of salaries of sportspersons!
Now the Indian cricket audience is also looking forward to the two new teams that are supposed to be announced tomorrow, 25th October – which means more revenue!
The ownership of two new IPL teams will have a substantial impact on their revenues. What do you think? Tweet to us.

The Indian stock markets ended the week lower and benchmark indices witnessed selling pressure. A number of things led to this. China’s quarterly GDP hit a 1-year low and that spooked institutional investors of an oncoming economic slowdown.
Moreover, profit-booking in stocks ahead of September quarter results are believed to have caused some pressure on the markets. That apart, the relentless rise in crude-oil prices and worries of inflation rising – which led to the thinking that the RBI might raise interest rates (also called monetary tightening) led to markets ending the red.
