Indian Premier League (IPL) founder Lalit Modi at a sports management conference in London, United Kingdom, in 2010. (Image: Action Images/Jed Leicester via Reuters) Earlier this week, media rights for the 2023-27 cycle of the Indian Premier league (IPL) – television and digital rights combined – were sold at an astounding Rs 48,390 crore , nearly triple what the Board of Control for Cricket in India  (BCCI) got for them in the 2018-22 cycle. The five seasons will amount to 370 matches, which means the BCCI will earn INR 49.6 lakh per ball – and that is just from broadcasting. One can see why channels pay such exorbitant amounts to cover the IPL. A league-stage clash (not a playoffs match) between the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in 2021 was watched by 367 million. The 2019 World Cup final – the most high-profile international match – attracted a mere 167 million, while the Boxing Day Test match of the 2021/22 Ashes was watched by a mere 440,000. The numbers … [Read more...] about Lalit Modi’s enduring legacy: IPL, and cricket’s changing economy
