BCCI to face a massive loss of 4k crore if IPL 2020 gets cancelled

BCCI is expecting a revenue loss of about Rs 4,000 crore in revenue should IPL this year cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 13th season of the annual T20 league was to get underway by March 29 but was first suspended for two weeks before being postponed indefinitely after a nationwide lockdown in India.

While BCCI hasn’t fully given up on holding the league in the country or elsewhere in some form,



it will certainly leave big impact on their revenue should there be a cancellation. 

"We’ll be able to assess it once we know when we’re going to start [the cricket],” BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal told Cricbuzz. “As of now, every bilateral that we miss, we’ll be losing money. And if we’re not able to organise IPL then that’ll lead to a big hit. Not having an IPL would end up with a revenue loss of about Rs 4000 crore.”
