In India, Star Sports won the rights to the IPL for the next five seasons in a massive £1.8bn deal, the most lucrative TV contract in all of cricket.
In comparison, English home international and domestic cricket rights for 2020-2024 just sold for £1.1bn to Sky Sports and BBC, and India's home internationals fetched £667m for the next five years.
