Anything less than 500mn per year from IPL rights will be disappointing for BCCI.

only 2 players bidding for telecast rights in Ind...may go short of the 4B$ expected by BCCI

There are actually sixteen bidders acc to the article .But they expect it to be won by either of these two

I don't get why ESPN wouldn't pursue it strongly, they certainly have the deep pockets to get it done.

For me the biggest interest is digital rights for Indian market .

Both Jio and Amazon are sitting on huge cash surplus to invest and want to go big with Jio tv and Amazon prime respectively soon .IPL will be a huge incentive for their growth .

Could the biggest surprise in all imo
