Indian Premier League 2020 | Dream11 wins title sponsorship rights
The HinduDream11, a fantasy sports application, has bagged the title sponsorship rights for the Indian Premier League’s 2020 edition for ₹222 crore. The BCCI was last week forced to invite EoI for IPL title sponsorship rights following Vivo India’s pull-out barely six weeks before the start of the tournament, to be played from September 19 to Nov. 10. Investigation Meanwhile, FanCode, a live-streaming app launched last year by the Dream11 promoters, is under investigation by the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit for streaming a match played by locals on the outskirts of Chandigarh as part of the Uva Premier League in Sri Lanka during the pandemic. According to a BCCI official, the Punjab Police is investigating it and since the two sites are different entities, the ongoing investigation won’t have any bearing over Dream11’s title sponsorship bid.
