  • The Ahmedabad team was sold for the highest price: INR 1289 crore (USD 158 million approx), followed by
  • Mumbai (INR 912.99 crore/USD 111 million approx),
  • Bengaluru (INR 901 crore/USD 110 million approx),
  • Delhi (INR 810 crore/USD 99.35 million approx) and
  • Lucknow (INR 757 crore/USD 92.85 million approx).

Business Model of this WIPL

The BCCI recently earned a big sum from the sale of the women’s IPL media rights, which were bagged by Viacom 18 for INR 951 crore (USD 116.7 million approx.) for a five-year period between 2023 and 2027. Under the revenue-sharing model, the women’s IPL will distribute 80% of the media rights money to the five franchises in the first five years. This is significant – as was seen in the men’s IPL – in offsetting a major part of the franchises’ operational costs.
