IPL 2020: BCCI have rejected Dream11’s bid for 2021 & 2022, D11 to be title sponsor for 2020 edition!

Key Highlights:

• Dream11 to be IPL title sponsor for 2020.
• BCCI rejects their 2021 & 2022 bid.
• Dream11 won 2020 bid for Rs 222 Crores.

The BCCI reported the fantasy gaming platform Dream11 as this year’s IPL title sponsor, but the company will not remain on board for another two seasons after its conditional three-year proposition was rejected due to ‘low-bid’ offered for 2021 & 2022.

Dream11 had earlier out-bid educational-start-up Byju’s & Unacademy to win the rights with a bid of Rs 222 Crore, which was almost 51% less than the Chinese phone company Vivo was paying BCCI for IPL per year, which was around Rs 440 Crore.

BCCI has announced Dream11 as their new title sponsor of the 2020, 13 edition of Indian Premier League. Dream11 offered to pay Rs 240 Crore for years 2021 & 2022, in case Vivo did not came back. Vivo had to opt out to due anti-China sentiments in India.
