As seen from the previous table there are many matches of team India with team Australia. As we all know that in the whole world impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this pandemic time, there will happen many matches that will entertain ourselves and keep ourselves aside from this pandemic. Also from these matches, there will generate revenue in various ways. Later we will discuss how BCCI will make many and explore the ways.
How BCCI will generate Money
We know that cricket is heavily dependent on media/broadcast revenues. Nearly 75% of the revenue contribution by media/broadcast. Sponsorship revenue is estimated at 18% and revenue from matchday is around 7%. Cricket makes around 85% of the Indian sports economy with IPL. In 2019, the revenue generated by India, Australia, and England was around 70% of total cricket revenue.
The Indian government has been active in the development of sports and has taken many initiatives including a significantly a 2X increase in budget over the past 5 years.
BCCI makes money from the following sources:
Media(Broadcasting) Rights
Cricket is one of the most popular and most-watched sports in India. Indians of every corner of the globe also from India are followers of the sport. As there is a large no of viewership, Global Media Rights (television as well as digital) for India matches could sell at a huge price driven by the huge Indian fan base and high viewership from India.
Broadcast and sponsorship deals of ICC and ACC events are also primarily. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a loss in revenue of around 48%, out of which 2/3rd will be because of IPL alone.
Media rights for matches hosted by BCCI in India are generally sold to the highest bidder through an auction process.
Star India won the broadcasting rights for matches hosted by BCCI for the 4 years ending on 31st March 2023 for the amount of INR 6138 Crore. This means that the BCCI earns an average of INR 60 Crore for each international match hosted by BCCI during this period.
The broadcaster is charging in the range of Rs 25 crore – Rs 30 crore for the slot of presenting sponsor. STAR India pays the BCCI Rs 43.20 crore per international match (Tests, ODIs, and T20s) played in India. Further, the IPL stock went last year as STAR India won its media rights with a historic bid of Rs 16,347.50 crore for five years (2019-2022), translating into Rs 54.5 crore per match.
Sponsorship Fees
Sponsorship fees are another significant source of revenue for the BCCI. Again by similar to the auction of Media Rights, Sponsorship Rights are also sold to the highest bidder through the auction process. It is generally the sale of ‘Team Sponsorship’ rights and ‘Title Sponsorship’ rights that bring in the most dollars for the BCCI. All the credit goes to players and the Indian national team, which has not only performed brilliantly for the last few years but also attracts sponsors.
Every tournament has official sponsors. Each will generally have their title sponsors, associate sponsors, etc. While associate sponsorship is being sold for Rs 15 crore – Rs 20 crore.

Various sponsors will get their branding in stadiums.

BCCI will also get a revenue share of 10 % of every jersey or merchandise sold by MPL. The deal is from November 2020 till December 2023 and will see the board earn Rs 65 lakh per game over the three years.

About 85% of the inventory has already been sold to sponsors and the remaining 15% is being sold to a clutch of last-minute advertisers.
As for India matches, a ten-second ad slot costs in the range of Rs 10 lakh – Rs 12 lakh.
