Package A (TV rights for Indian subcontinent) : Disney  NOTE (there is confusion among all sources) It's Disney or Sony.
Package B (Digital rights for Indian subcontinent) : Viacom 18
What? I'm confused. I though Disney won Package A while Sony won Package B. Many fans were already celebrating IPL's return to Sony TV. Have no idea where Viacom 18 squeezed into this tight race.

Anyway, I am proud of IPL because it literally surpassed the English freaking Premier League and is sitting below the NFL in terms of price per match. Amazing!
Bid is still going on so lots of speculation going on who got the rights, no one showing their cards as Package C is kinda related to Package B ( media rights)

But many source confirmed that Viacom 18 won the package B, bit of confusion on Package A tho. We'll get accurate picture by tomorrow evening after BCCI release.

-------------
Also time for IPL salary to increase by 2 folds, may be increase the budget minimum 200 cr INR/per franchise.

Undoubtedly South Africa will win the series, India is really not able to find that winning combination. It's just struggling sometimes with it's batting and other times with it's bowling. Today they skittled for just 149 which too was lucky after fall of quick 6 wickets and in previous match their bowlers skittled. India is really no match in front of this south Africa team. I would be surprised if India wins this series from here.

India have one of the biggest T20 league at home, IPL but after every IPL we see drastic performance of India in T20I. That clearly means IPL is no more helping Indian cricket team. I don't know what's wrong with bcci, are they not able to pick good performers from IPL or is there anyother reason?

Sony -> Star India -> ? Some big players are bidding like crazy and I think a new player might win the rights this time around. Also, Ganguly actually mentioned that IPL is even more popular than EPL these days which isn't hard to believe.

It's not about cricket anymore, some might say it was never about cricket anyway, which i partially agree, thanks to Lalit modi. He was corrupt af but i've no hesitation to say that guy was visionary.
Agreed. Never did like Lalit Modi, but he definitely started something revolutionary whether anyone agrees or not. Wonder what he's upto these days.
Must be enjoying his life.

Now that ICC almost secured big amount of money. There focus should be on other areas too like.

- Improve at least 10-12 existing stadiums with the help of franchise and State board (they need spanking for politics),
- Improve spectators experience be taking care of basic facilities( Good Food, Shades, hygiene etc) for IPL and Tests facilities are okay but for internationals it's like a hell.

India should relay think about their bowling and I really think the captaincy needs to be a lot better. India was in a really good position to win this match but this can only happen because of bad captaincy. If we look at both matches we will see that India last because they did not capitalize on the chances that they had and they made the most mistakes in bowling.
The India has moved down in ICC ranking to number 4. The IPL has took so much of the Indian Cricket time. That series was so long and there were so many teams. The we almost lost track of what is happening around. I believe there is more money game involved than real cricket.

My guess was that the performance of Indian players would improve after the IPL. But after playing in the T20 format for 2 months, the performance of Indian players has not improved. Rather, their performance has deteriorated further. If this continues, we will see the poor performance of India in the next World Cup.

India lost the second match as well as the first T20. Indian players have been playing in the IPL for a long time, at the same time India is the host of this series. However, their performance in both the matches was poor. In the first match, India lost badly despite giving a huge target of 212 runs. In today's match, India has given a target of only 149 runs. Heinrich Klaasen's devastating 81 off 48 balls helped South Africa to win today. With three matches left in the series, India's chances of winning the series still exist.
It was meant to be as the target was low. South Africa now leading the 5 match T20 series with two victory. I believe that South Africa will win this series. India lost the first match for their poor bowling figure during the death overs. And they lost the match today as their batsmen failed to set a big target. Indian team should change their game plan. South Africa won the toss and decided to bat bowl first in both match. And they have chased the target without any difficulties. South Africa will do the same thing if they win the toss in next match.

South Africa will do the same thing if they win the toss in next match.
The Indian players were extra confident after delivering a big target in the first match. This is why they have been defeated. The performance of the bowler was weak, and Indian fielding was not good. In the second match, the performance of both Indian batsmen and bowlers both was poor. With a target of only 149 runs, it was not possible for South Africa to win against this experienced team.

I totally agree with you. India lost the first match due to overconfidence. Otherwise, 212 was a good enough target for India to win. But South Africa easily won the match by collecting 212 runs. However, the bowling of Indian bowlers was uncontrolled in the second match as well. South Africa lost 3 wickets for just 29 runs. And South Africa's collection in 8 over was only 36 runs. But South Africa scored 138 runs in 16 overs. South Africa scored 102 runs in just 8 overs. With such uncontrolled bowling, India will also lose in upcoming matches.

We have to accept that the Indian bowling line-up is also weak now. And since the bowling lineup is weak, it is very important for the batsmen to perform more better. An experienced bowler like Bhumrh is not in the squad. And  It is very difficult to find 5 experienced bowlers in India now. Though Bhubaneswar Kumar bowled brilliantly but the performance of other bowlers was not satisfactory.

Bilateral cricket is about to fuck up in international cricket (rightly so, except test cricket), at least in the biggest market. According to some reliable journalists IPL media rights auction already crossed the base amount (it's only for A+B category) and it's kinda 2 days affair.
I read an article regarding this today, the battle between the richest people in the world for the IPL media rights to get the bragging rights and possible exposure for their media platforms, Mukesh Ambani and Jeff Bezos to battle for the bid and then there is Disney who is sending their top executives for the media rights and it is going to be a record breaking event as per experts in the article i read  Cheesy. Good time for the BCCI when there are battles for the media rights as they are the ultimate winners  Grin.
Yeah, apart from bragging rights /ego etc, now it came down  to owning prime time slots and ours drawing rooms.

The problem is cricket has always been a place of revenue for all the people that are interested in cricket except for the fans. Even a lot of players also think of cricket as an easy way of money. And under these situations, cricket cannot prosper. Actually, when ICC itself is corrupt no one else cannot do anything.

The bowling performance of India has some certain problems right now. Of course, Bhubaneswar Kumar and Harshal Patel bowled well but that was not enough. The other bowlers did not do too well at all.

I also think that India could have put a few more runs on the board. I think they were at least 20 runs short. The run rate was not good in India. And South Africa basically played out the bowlers that were playing really well and they went after the other bowlers. I know that the chance of India winning the series is still alive but it is going to be really hard for India to do so.

Anybody watching the second T-20 match between India and South Africa. South Africa have won the toss and decided to bowl. Already South Africa have won the first T20 of the 5 match T20 series. In this match India is performing very bad. During the final overs it has lost unwanted wickets. Somehow India managed to score 148 runs. South Africa innings will be an easy one, because the players love chasing targets.


South Africa in reply have lost the wicket of Reeza Hendricks who is bowled out by Kumar. 148 is not a big target, SA in first T20I successfully chased a target of 200+. Based on previous match result it seems like SA will win today's game also. But you never know what's ahead.
South Africa have lost four wickets scoring 98 runs in 13 overs. This way South Africa keeps the run rate on the good side even when there is fall of wickets. Two more wickets is necessary for India to win the match, but this isn't gonna happen. The players on the crease are Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. Already Klaasen have reached 50 runs in 31 balls, so he'll take advantage and try to contribute more taking less balls.
