The Indian Premier League has vaulted into the broadcasting stratosphere with the announcement of new five-year deals for the domestic market that will bring in excess of £5bn, or nearly £14m a match.
With the IPL season consisting of 74 games, the new deal makes it the second most lucrative competition in the world on a per-match basis. The NFL continues to dominate that chart, having last year sealed a $113bn, 11-year domestic rights agreement involving five television networks and Amazon.
