In a thrilling duel on August 31, Disney Star, Sony Sports, and Viacom18 vied for the coveted media rights from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The outcome? Viacom18 has emerged triumphant, earning the TV and digital rights for India’s home matches.

Viacom18 and BCCI are expected to clinch a five-year pact, spanning 2023 to 2028, encompassing the media rights. The auction utilized an entertaining “last participant standing” strategy, with bidding continuing until only one contender remained. Interestingly, consortiums were also allowed to join in this fascinating bidding process.

“Congratulations @viacom18 for winning the @BCCI Media Rights for both linear and digital for the next 5 years. India Cricket will continue to grow in both spaces as after @IPL, and @wplt20, we extend the partnership @BCCI Media Rights as well. Together we will continue to capture the imagination of Indian cricket fans,” said Jay Shah on the social media platform “X”.

Dividing the media rights into two packages, BCCI fixed a basic price of INR 20 crore for Package A (TV) and INR 25 crore for Package B (digital and overseas rights). Anticipating an uptick in the number of games in the upcoming phase, BCCI foresees a direct impact on viewership and revenue. Particularly significant is India’s planned hosting of cricket giants Australia and England. Among the 88 matches India will play at home, a substantial 39 will be against these dangerous opponents.

With this new agreement in play, Viacom18’s JioCinema, the OTT streaming service, will broadcast India’s matches on its app, website, and television. Previously, Disney Star held the reins for both TV and digital channels, having won the rights for INR 6,138 crore.

Turning our attention to the national squad, Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, is geared up for an electric meeting against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023. The setting is prepared for a duel between Rohit Sharma’s side and Babar Azam’s team at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on September 2.

The United States of America (USA) clinched a momentous T20I series victory against Bangladesh, following a thrilling 6-run triumph in the second match on May 23, 2024, at the Grand Prairie Cricket Complex in Houston. Defending a target of 145, the USA got off to a flying start when Sourabh Netravalkar managed to dismiss Soumya Sarkar with a brilliant catch off his own bowling. Despite this setback, Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto played positively, applying pressure on the USA bowlers and adding 30 runs for the second wicket. Their partnership was broken by a superb delivery from Jessy Singh that sent Tanzid Hasan back to the pavilion. Shanto, now joined by Towhid Hridoy, kept the scoreboard ticking, steering Bangladesh towards their target. However, a moment of brilliance in the field by Corey Anderson resulted in Shanto's run-out after a valuable 48-run partnership with Hridoy for the third wicket. Corey Anderson continued his impact by dismissing Hridoy, who dragged an inside edge onto his stumps, putting Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Shadley Van Schalkwyk then dismissed Mahmudullah, increasing the pressure on Bangladesh. Needing 12 runs off the final over, Ali Khan proved to be the hero for the USA. He removed Rishad Hossain, and earlier in his spell, he had taken the crucial wicket of the veteran Shakib Al Hasan. Ali Khan finished with impressive figures of 3 for 25 in 3.3 overs. Netravalkar chipped in with 2 for 15, and Van Schalkwyk also took 2 wickets, while Anderson had 1 for 11 in his 2 overs. Earlier in the match, Bangladesh's captain Shanto won the toss and chose to field. The USA openers, Steven Taylor and Monank Patel, started strongly, reaching 42 for no loss in the first six overs. Taylor and Andries Gous were dismissed in quick succession, but not before Taylor and Patel had put on 44 runs for the first wicket. Aaron Jones then joined Monank Patel, and the duo kept the momentum going with a mix of singles and boundaries, maintaining the pressure on the Bangladesh bowlers. The thrilling finish sent fans on social media into a frenzy, with mixed emotions ranging from jubilation for the USA's famous 6-run victory to brutal trolling of the Bangladesh team. Here are some of the reactions from the fans: https://x.com/nibraz88cricket/status/1793726077963305415 https://x.com/LoyalSachinFan/status/1793712954061549708 https://x.com/saifahmed75/status/1793711677768380652 https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1793711364181291456 https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1793712283195261002 https://x.com/adnan_malik122/status/1793855620862673294 https://x.com/amaamir3232/status/1793916469308436701 https://x.com/loyalfan_07/status/1793861014515237107 https://x.com/UzmaNaa61412457/status/1793825949152342216
