Says the cricket governing body must explain PwC's exit from the auction process

This comes as the governing body of world cricket is auctioning Indian media rights separately from global media rights as India is the largest market for cricket

Viacom18 paid 238 billion rupees ($3.1 billion) for the rights to stream the IPL tournament, one of the world's most-watched sporting events, almost on par with what Disney shelled out

Globally, Viacom18 has won television as well as digital rights in three (Australia, South Africa, UK) out of five international territories, including major cricketing nations

Following the conclusion of the IPL media rights auction 2022, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly said that the event shows how strong the game is in the country.The TV and digital rights for the 2023-2027 cycle went to Star India and Viacom18 respectively for a whopping Rs 48,390 crore for 410 matches at e-auctions on Tuesday."The game has never been just about money..it is about talent.

Will the fall in IPL viewership impact the big media rights auction?

After TV viewership of IPL dropped by 30%, there are demands to bring down the reserve price for the media rights auction for next five-year cycle. Will this have a bearing on media rights sale?

At base price of Rs 32,890 crore, India's biggest companies will calculate business logic in joining the bidding contest.
