The T20 tournament was played for a TV and digital audience only last year and shifted to the United Arab Emirates in view of rising Covid-19 infections in India.

Advertising volumes too surged, with digital and internet economy brands marking their presence well across properties, whether it was title sponsorship (Dream11) or last-minute advertising.


All eight franchisees, however, saw their brand value fall in 2020, Duff & Phelps said, as most struggled with lower sponsorship revenue and off-field issues. Fan engagement and meet and greet events were missing. And franchisee sponsorship deals were down almost 15-20 per cent in the 2020 edition.
