Is the world’s biggest cricket league secretly losing a lot of money? A shocking claim now raises major questions about the IPL’s future format.
IPL founder Lalit Modi has criticized the way the league is run, saying the current setup isn’t making as much money as it could.
Here’s the big twist. Modi claims the IPL is losing about ₹2400 crore every year, shocking fans and experts alike.
The main problem is fewer matches than planned. IPL was meant to have a full home-and-away schedule, but fewer games now mean less revenue.
It’s not just the board; franchises are losing money too. More matches would mean more ticket sales, sponsorships, and TV income.
Should IPL have more matches to make more money, or is the shorter format better for players, fans, and world cricket?
