Dileep to be tweeted lol
In reply to doosra
I expect the USD number to be correct..
2million rupees is chump change for these guys..
In reply to Khaga
you mean for BCCI?
well yea they have a reserve
giving each u19 that sum of money is ridiculously good for them...they can focus on cricket entirely from here on...some top up with IPL
In reply to doosra
Even for the team..What's 5 million rupees for Rahul?
50 million is sizable..even his coaching contract is worth crores I believe..
BCCI must be making the guys who didn't make it in IPL auction,feel good with this bonus..
In reply to Khaga
i think the kids who didn't get IPL deals deserve the bonus thoroughly..imagine playing with your friends equally well and they return home millionaires while you have nothing...good on bcci
Rahul's contract is in excess of 1m usd i read somewhere...
In reply to doosra
Rahul is smart..he is making as much as Shastri without having to deal with all those egos..
In reply to Khaga
quietly doing his thing...i believe his IPL gig is separate from his BCCI's as well
so yea he probably makes as much without any notice...and he's cool enough to keep it low ...
In reply to doosra
BCCI is flush with cash..VIvo IPL title sponsorship and Oppo sponsorship are worth a lotttt..
IPL broadcast rights is a beast..
I am sure even the IPL franchises are making truck loads of money now that IPL is into it's second decade..
In reply to Khaga
i think the franchises are definitely in the plus now...
i'd imagine the bcci balance sheet would be many 100mills
those 2 rights are crazy
In reply to doosra
Except for the suspension of 2 franchises which were filled in, franchise ownership hasn't changed hands in 10 years..even Mallya's troubles haven't deterred RCB..
In reply to Khaga
just today i thought about RCB and how they managed to keep it together despite Mallya's troubles
the system is fairly settled
Pune and Gujarat are good stand ins ...guess BCCI do not want to dilute quality with too many teams
In reply to doosra
I can tell you there are many tier-2 cities waiting for a chance..
In reply to doosra
You have to remember that the global economy was in deep recession in the inaugural year of IPL..they withstood it..
In reply to Khaga
don't think the BCCI will just let more teams in the ipl...there's enough mileage for sponsors and tv from what's there now
the india market alone is huge enough to keep this going...they actually came right at the beginning of the recession which in itself was a gamble

Masterstroke by the much maligned Lalit Modi.
Dravid deserves the pay
he didnt just show up to the WC
He has been working with the squad for a while
In reply to Khaga & Doosra
Dravid is a Maestro.
In reply to anandgb
The talent at disposal is no less..didn't the last bunch come up short under Dravid?
Dravid thieve the writer's gyal!
He has beef with Dravid.
1000000 Indian Rupee equals
15,580.000 US Dollar
So 2 million=?
3 million=46,640 which makes more sense. 46 grand.

rahul is pure class on and off the field mate.
In reply to doosra
how much windies players and staff. get last time for winning?
In reply to doosra
Dravid had to give up his IPL job for the India one, if I remember correctly.
In reply to doosra
Pulling di strings..
