Earlier, in 2020, the BCCI shaked hands and signed a three-year contract with the Mobile Premier League’s sports firm MPL Sports in order to replace Nike. Apparel brand Killer Jeans then came in as an interim sponsor after that deal ended before time and their contract will expire on May 31, reports said.
MPL was paying 65 lakh per match and 9 crores as royalty for a three-year deal with the BCCI.
“Imagine, they get to leverage from Virat Kohli, who is a Puma athlete, and Rohit Sharma, an Adidas athlete, with this association,” an industry executive stated.
“No wonder, Killer are happy to stretch their deal through April-May, which are basically IPL months, where the Indian team will not even be on the park.”
