BCCI nets Rs 9,741 cr in FY24, IPL alone accounts for 59%
A two-month tournament generating more than half the annual revenue of the world's richest cricket board speaks volumes of the event's commercial heft. From media rights and sponsorships to ticketing and merchandise, the IPL remains BCCI's crown jewel. According to the report, the BCCI received a hefty INR 1,042 crore from the International Cricket Council (ICC), accounting for 10.70 percent of its total revenue.
While cricket was being played on the field, the BCCI was quietly making money off it. Interest from fixed deposits and investments contributed INR 987 crore to the board's income, a smart financial play that made up over 10 percent of total revenues.
In a notable debut, the Women's Premier League (WPL) brought in INR 378 crore, signaling a strong start and a potentially transformative shift for women's cricket in India. Meanwhile, broadcasting rights for non-IPL international matches contributed INR 361 crore, reaffirming that traditional cricket still holds considerable value. Adding to this were INR 361 crore from ticket sales, hospitality, and commercial rights related to Men's internationals tours, and INR 400 crore from miscellaneous sources proving that even off-the-pitch cricket sells.
The report concluded, with 59 percent of its revenue from IPL and growing streams like WPL and global rights, BCCI has built a billion-rupee engine powered by fan love, smart deals, and cricketing excellence.

Meet Anshul Kamboj - Haryana pacer who took 10 wickets in an innings in Ranji Trophy, makes India debut in Manchester
Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj was handed his India Test debut on Wednesday against England in the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. Kamboj, who was a part of the India A squad during their tour of England last month, was a late addition to the senior side after the visiting side were hit by a couple of injuries. Kamboj's debut comes in after pacer Arshdeep Singh was ruled out of the fourth Test due to an injury he suffered on his bowling hand at nets. India also made another two changes - Shardul Thakur and Sai Sudharsan replacing of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Karun Nair. Kamboj thus became the second Indian player to be handed his debut in the ongoing Test series. Sudharsan was handed his Test debut in the first Test in Leeds which India lost by five wickets. Born in Karnal, Kamboj made his first class debut for Haryana in 2022. The young pacer came into limelight when he took 17 wickets in 10 matches in their triumphant Vijay Hazare campaign in 2023. Kamboj's ability to exploit the subtle movement caught the eyes of IPL scouts and was signed by Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With very little chances at Mumbai Indians, Kamboj got traded to Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025. He played eight matches for his eight wickets at an economy of exactly 8. His moment of magic came in November last year when he became just the third pacer in Ranji Trophy to take all 10 wickets in an innings against Kerala. For hi 10 wickets, Kamboj bowled 30.1 overs, including nine maidens and conceded 49 runs. For India A against England Lions, Kamboj played two games and picked up three wickets. But the highlight of Kamboj's stay in the United Kingdom was the 51 not out in the second game in Northampton in the second innings in a drawn encounter.

Rupee falls for sixth straight session, ends 3 paise lower at 86.41 against US dollar
Mumbai, The rupee stayed weak for the sixth consecutive session and settled with a loss of 3 paise at 86.41 against the dollar on Wednesday, amid a strong American currency and outflow of foreign funds. Forex traders said the domestic unit, however, found some cushion due to lower crude oil prices and heavy buying in domestic equity markets in line with global trends after the US announced a trade deal with Japan. At the interbank foreign exchange, the Indian currency opened weak at 86.46 and touched the intra-day peak of 86.34 against the greenback. The unit ended the session at 86.41 , registering a loss of 3 paise from its previous closing level. At the end of Tuesday's trading session, the local unit settled at 86.38, down 7 paise over its previous close. This was rupee's fifth straight session of decline since July 16 when the unit had lost 16 paise and settled at 85.92 against the dollar. Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, said the rupee weakened on a strong greenback and foreign institutional investors' outflows. However, overnight decline in crude oil prices and positive domestic equities cushioned the downside. "Traders may take cues from PPI and industrial production data from the US. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of ₹ 85.60 to ₹ 86.30," he added. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.04 per cent to 97.16. Analysts attributed gains in dollar index to higher inflation in the US that has reduced hopes for an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 0.52 per cent to USD 68.23 per barrel in futures trade. According to experts, investors are awaiting the outcome of India-US trade talks ahead of the August 1 deadline as Indian exporters are staring at higher tariffs in American market. If the discussions fail or get delayed, Indian exporters could face fresh pressure adding to the rupee's challenges. The US team will visit India in August for the next round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement between the two countries. India and the US teams concluded the fifth round of talks for the agreement last week in Washington. Meanwhile, in the domestic equity market, Sensex climbed 539.83 points, or 0.66 per cent, to 82,726.64, while Nifty rose 159.00 points, or 0.63 per cent, to 25,219.90. Foreign institutional investors offloaded equities worth ₹ 3,548.92 crore on a net basis on Tuesday, according to exchange data.
