Despite losing the 2023 Cricket World Cup to Australia, India’s continued dominance in the sport is assured. With a population of 1.4 billion people and hosting one of the most lucrative domestic competitions, the Indian Premier League (IPL), India’s financial power is unmatched in cricket. The recent sale of IPL media rights for $6.2 billion solidifies India’s position as a financial stronghold in the sport, surpassing England and Australia as the largest contributors to cricket revenues. While the loss in the final may have disappointed Indian supporters and administrators, it does not diminish their influence in cricket, both on and off the pitch.
