IPL is on the rise

As per the new number, IPL has become one of the most expensive leagues on the planet. For a tournament that had not started a decade and a half ago, this is a terrific achievement by BCCI. While it brings in a lot of capital for BCCI, there is massive scope for improvement of the sport in every corner of the country. Ahead of the announcement of the rights, BCCI has already announced that the pension of former cricketers would increase. This move by Sourav Ganguly and co. has been welcomed by all.

The fans, though, want a better experience as the overall output. There have been complaints regarding the quality of the broadcast in recent seasons. If it is improved, there will be no looking back for the brand that is the Indian Premier League.
