@arshi_yasin the economics of "Indian Sport excluding Cricket" is a different debate ..

Two cricket teams. $3.4 billion. One earth-shattering league. The IPL's total business valuation now exceeds that of EPL, is ahead of La Liga and is ahead of every football league outside North America. Remember, this league did not exist 18 years ago. This is not a cricket story. It is an India story. 1.4 billion people. A sports economy finding its commercial identity. Global investors - the Walmart family, Blackstone, ABG, etc, are not just betting on cricket. They are betting on India's appetite for sport at scale.
