BCCI Negotiates with Brands for Title Sponsorship Amid Pricing Challenges
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is seeking a new title sponsor for India's home cricket season but has not secured a deal by the August 13 deadline. The board set a base price of Rs 4.85 crore per match for a two-year package covering approximately 35 international matches until March 2028, higher than the previous Rs 4.2 crore rate. Google Gemini, Spinny, and SBI Life are among brands in discussions as the BCCI negotiates directly with potential sponsors to finalize the agreement.
