What is one absurd IPL fact?

Tywin Lannister

Star paid a whopping 22,74,000 Rs/ Ball bowled in IPL 2018,while Sony paid5,69,000 Rs/ Ball from 2008 to 2017

IPL the official Cash Cow for BCCI involves some serious number crunching.

• Sony paid Rs 8,200 crore for a 10-year IPL broadcast bid from 2008 to 2017
• Star paid Rs 16,347.50 crore over the next 5 years from 2018 to 2022
  

This drills to

• Sony: 820 Crore / year
• Star: 3269.5 Crore/year
  

Approx 60 Matches played each season hence

• Sony: 13.66 Crore / Match
• Star: 54.59 Crore/ Match
  

In each Match approx 240 Balls are bowled

• Sony: 5.69 Lakh/ Ball
• Star: 22.74 Lakh / Ball
  

(P.S. This question was actually asked in one of my interviews as to how much money was paid by star per ball bowled in IPL 2018)

1- Parthiv Patel and aaron finch have represented 6 different teams in the 8 seasons. No player has played for more franchises.

Parthiv played for Chennai Super Kings, Kochi Tuskers, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians and it surely is a unique feat.

Aaron Finch has also played for six different franchises throughout his IPL career. They are Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils, Pune Warriors India, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Lions to complete almost a full circle.

The craze of the cricket fans feeds the greed of the team owners and the cravings for money of the players leading to unethical practices and dishonesty all around.This may very well spell doom for the gentlemen's game in future.Spare a thought for preserving the integrity of the game.
