After the online gaming bill was passed in the Indian Parliament, Dream 11 had to end its contract with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Asia Cup 2025 pass is coming, so the pressure on BCCI is also increasing. Meanwhile, NDTV has issued a report that the board is considering bringing a new sponsor for the period of 2025-2028. It is being told that this new sponsorship deal can be about Rs 452 crore.

Dream 11 signed a contract of about Rs 358 crore with BCCI in the year 2023. But due to the new online gaming bill, Dream 11 had to finish the deal a year ago.

Bcci in search of new sponsors

According to NDTV, sources said that BCCI is looking for a new sponsor for the period from 2025 to 2028. During this, Team India will play around 140 matches. If this happens, it will be a better deal than Dream11 in terms of money. This sponsorship deal will be applicable not only for domestic and abroad matches but also to multilateral tournaments organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and International Cricket Council (ICC).

The BCCI has also set an amount of Rs 3.5 crore for each bilateral match. At the same time, a target of Rs 1.5 crore has been kept for each match to be held in ICC and ACC tournaments. This amount will be more than the Dream 11 deal, but the byju’s deal will be less.

How will Team India’s jersey be in Asia Cup?

As far as the Asia Cup is concerned, BCCI wants to approve the name of the new sponsor before that, but time is running, so before the Asia Cup, Team India’s jersey may not get a new sponsor. But the deal can be decided before the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025.

The ‘Dream 11’ company has been in discussion after the online gaming bill. A few days after the bill passed, Dream 11 has ended the sponsorship deal with BCCI. According to The Indian Express, a source said that Dream 11 officials have made it clear in front of BCCI CEO Hemang Amin that they will not be able to release the deal. Let us know that this deal started in 2023, which was to be run by 2026, but the online gaming bill has now been made, which has the most hit on those companies in which money is transacted.

Quoting The Indian Express, a BCCI source said, “Some representatives of Dream 11 reached the BCCI office and clarified in front of CEO Hemung Amin that he would not be able to continue the sponsorship deal further. Which means that ‘Dream11’ will not be written on the Jersey of the Asia Cup.

According to another official, there will be no penalty when the deal ends quickly. Because a clause was added to the contract, which says that due to any policy brought by the government, the business of sponsor is affected, then it will not have to pay any additional money to the board.

Let us tell you that Dream 11 started about 18 years ago. It emerged as India’s largest online gaming platform. Its brand value has been estimated at about 8 billion dollars i.e. more than 69 thousand crore rupees. BCCI signed a sponsorship deal of Rs 358 crore with Dream 11 in July 2023.

How many crores were the deal?

According to media reports, from July 2023 to March 2026, Dream 11 gave an amount of Rs 358 crore to BCCI. The deal will end after the 2026 T20 World Cup. If the company has to stop all its operations in India, then it will be obviously difficult to continue its deal with BCCI for Dream 11.

The brand value of Dream 11 is estimated at $ 8 billion and India’s $ 3.8 billion is a very big name in Dream11. By being bankrupt, the Bayju company had to finish the deal with BCCI ahead of time.
