Cricket is almost a religion in India, and it’s now showing in the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPL has become <\/a>the second-most valuable sports league in the world on a per match basis. Each IPL match’s broadcast value is $13.4 million (Rs. 107.5 crore). This is the more than the value per match of the English Premier League, which stands at $11 million, and the American baseball league MLB which stands at $11 million, and the NBA, which has a per match broadcast value of $9 million. The only sports league which has a higher per match broadcast value than the IPL is the American Football league NFL, which has a per match value of $17 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per match broadcast value of sports leagues around the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.NFL: $17 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. IPL: $13.4 million<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. EPL: $11 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. MLB: $11 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. NBA: $9 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These numbers came into effect after BCCI’s record-breaking broadcast deal last year. The BCCI had sold IPL’s TV and digital broadcast rights for Rs. 43,050 crore ($5.5 billion). This was an incredible $3.3 billion more than the deal last time around, which meant that the IPL essentially more than doubled its per-match value from this season onwards. This year, the TV rights remained with Star for Rs. 23,575 crore, which Reliance Jio snagged<\/a> the digital rights for Rs. 20,500 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are pretty astounding numbers. The BCCI nets more than Rs. 100 crore per match from the broadcast rights of each IPL match, which is comparable to a middlingly-successful Bollywood film. This means that the BCCI essentially produces as many as 72 Bollywood movies in the frenetic 45-day long IPL window. Rs. 100 crore is also comparable to the annual revenues of many small startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the fact that the IPL is holding its own against the world’s biggest sports leagues is even more impressive. The US and UK leagues are much richer on a purchasing power parity basis than India, but the IPL is competing and beating them even in dollar terms. It probably helps that India has a large population, but IPL’s success when compared to the biggest global leagues shows that when India collectively flexes its muscle, it can take on the best in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
