BCCI further explained that the sponsor will not be determined only on the basis of the highest bid received. In a release sent out by the BCCI, it said, the body will not be obliged to award the rights to the third party. "This indicates a willingness to pay the highest fees in the course of discussions/ negotiations with BCCI after submitting an EOI. BCCI’s decision in this regard will also depend on a number of other relevant factors, including but not limited to, the manner in which the third party intends to exploit the rights, and the potential impact of the same on-brand IPL as also the fan/ viewer experience, which will be examined/ evaluated by BCCI in the course of discussions/ negotiations with interested third parties who submit an EOI."
Now it would be interesting to see who wins the bid. The IPL 2020 will begin from September 19, 2020. VIVO bowed out of the sponsorship after the BCCI got slammed for not boycotting the Chinese brand after the stand-off with the Indian troops at Galwan.
