The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) isn’t just rich — it’s the wealthiest board in the world of cricket, which in turn has made it an all-powerful organisation
According to one report, the BCCI’s net worth stands at USD 2.25 billion or nearly INR 19,000 crore
The BCCI’s net worth is thus nearly 30 times that of Cricket Australia, the second-wealthiest cricket board at USD 79 million
Such is its wealth that the BCCI accounts for 85 per cent of the combined net worth of the top 10 cricket boards
The BCCI’s financial success isn’t just due to the craze for the sport, it’s also because of the massive success of leagues such as the IPL
The vast riches in turn have helped transform the Indian team into a top side across formats
