The Indian Premier League (IPL), a T20 cricket league of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considered as the largest media property in India and the most popular cricket tournament in the world. Its growing success and popularity made it one of the cash-rich leagues in the world and it continues to grow, commencing its 13th season on March 29.
In a survey made by Brand Finance, a leading independent brand valuation consultancy, IPL stands at an all-time high of $5.7 billion. The 2019 edition T20 league ran up to 330 billion minutes of broadcasting time where it garners a huge amount of as many as 300 million viewers log into the streaming services during the period of 44 days. The increase continues as the tournament gets close to its new season.
“The 2019 tournament ran up over 330 billion minutes of broadcasting time and logged 300 million viewers into the streaming service over a span of 44 days.
