BCCI President Sourav Ganguly makes big statement; compares IPL to English Premier League

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is without a doubt the most popular T20 league in the world of cricket. The IPL, which is sometimes referred to as domestic cricket's biggest spectacle, is held every year by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which is also the richest cricket board in the world. Sourav Ganguly, the head of the Indian board and a legendary cricketer and former Indian captain, has made a big allegation regarding the famous T20 competition.

The IPL, according to the BCCI president, earns more income than the English Premier League (EPL). The EPL is the top-tier tournament in the English football league system, and is regarded as one of the toughest leagues in club football. At the India Leadership Council Event, Ganguly told Deepak Lamba (CEO, Worldwide Media, President, Times Strategic Solutions Limited) that he is thrilled to see the IPL generate more income than the English top flight.

Ganguly said that I've seen the game progress from a game where people like me could earn a few hundred dollars to one where they might earn millions. The BCCI, which was founded by cricket fans, manages the game on behalf of the fans, the people of this country, and the BCCI. This sport has a lot of potential and will continue to develop. He also said that the Indian Premier League brings in more money than the English Premier League. It also makes him happy and proud to see how far his favorite sport has progressed.

Ganguly's comments came after four major companies were allegedly shortlisted for the IPL's prized television and internet rights. The winning bids will be granted official rights to broadcast matches from the IPL, the world's richest T20 tournament. In the 15th season, the popular T20 league expanded to a 10-team event. Last month, debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) beat 2008 champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2022 final.
