According to sources, Dream11 wanted to have a three-year sponsorship association with IPL but the Indian cricket board (BCCI) did not find its bids for 2021 and 2022 not very lucrative and hence only struck a deal for 2020 and hence was 'uninterested'. "BCCI had said that this will be a one-year deal but Dream11 wanted to have it for three years. Dream11 has offered Rs 222 crore for this year, Rs 240 crore for the next year and Rs 240 crore for the third year," sources said. "But the BCCI said that after the Covid-19 pandemic gets over, they are expected to get a good amount next year, so can't commit for the future. The board also said if Vivo backs out again, then Dream11 will be given the first preference. "There was discussion going on and that's why the official announcement got delayed. But now everything is sorted out and they both have agreed to one year only. BCCI may soon issue the statement," the source added.
