But in 2024, when she announced the dates of the following three seasons, she dispeared between March 14th and May 30th. However, in September this year, after the BCCI AGM, board secretary Devajit Saikia had hinted that the tournament could begin towards the end of March. This is the last mini-auction of the current IPL cycle. A mega auction is planned before the 2028 season.
The upcoming mega auction marks the beginning of the IPL’s next round of media rights, although the BCCI has not floated the tender yet. In 2022, the IPL rose to the Ivy League of global sports after selling media rights for the astronomical sum of INR 48,390.5 Crores (proximately US$6.2 billion).
