MUMBAI: The cricket industry went into a tizzy on Friday morning, questioning the ‘work ethics’ of certain unidentified individuals in the ecosystem who chose to selectively point out to the media that BCCI’s official jersey sponsor Byju’s owes the cricket board a pending amount of Rs 86.21 crore.
Exactly three years ago, in September 2019, Byju’s had replaced Oppo on the Team India jersey and that contract is now awaiting a renewal. Both BCCI and Byju’s have been in discussion to extend the contract and only a “formal signing of the agreement” is awaited.
