Speaking of the Indian T20 League, then this prestigious Indian franchise cricket has recently reached the second spot in terms of media rights. Now, it is just behind the American football tournament National Football League. NFL is currently the costliest Sports league at 133 Cr per Match which estimates up to $17.33 Million.

On the other hand, the Indian T20 League is currently earning 105 Crore per match after the bidding of the media rights for the next cycle of the tournament.

The sports media industry has also predicted that the league can cross the NFL in terms of value per match. Former chairman of the Indian T20 League, Lalit Modi already said that it might touch down the range of INR 60,000 for the entire package.

“I predict that this new IPL media rights tender will fetch close to 8 to 10 billion dollars (between INR 60k and 75k crore). I believe this is the value of a genuinely global and world-class product,” said Modi in a tweet.

In another prediction, the CEO of Sporty Solutionz, Ashish Chadha said that:

“I think the unthinkable can happen, IPL should surpass NFL Per Match Values. Mind it, Rest of World Package & PACKAGE C of 18 matches is yet to come for auction,” said Chadha.
