This is original bids for @IPL that were awarded on 24th January 2008 in mumbai at cricket center at 12:00 pm. The bids were converted into rupees on that day. One dollar was 40 rupees on that morning. So one can just judge the true value appreciation today. 🙏🏽 further the amount bid was spread out to be paid evenly over 10 years. Many teams were in profit post year one itself. So the amount came out of their cash flow. So value appreciation is far greater than what the media conceives it to be. Actual numbers each team spent to buy the team will show up only in company filings with registrar of the company. So check that for accuracy and true value appreciation.
A tough night in the desert. Respect to @jackdraper0, you deserve it. Great to see you back on court fighting fit. Keep it going. 🙌
And to everyone who supported me here this week, thank you for the energy. No place like tennis paradise. See you soon.

2) ICC Test championship
3) T20 WC
4) Champions trophy.
