This is the first time in history that the Indian Premier League 2020 will not be played in India. Yes! That’s true, more on that later, but first, let’s talk about its title. We all know the IPL always had the number of sponsors, and they would bid for the title.
Till now, the IPL title sponsor was VIVO, but this year the Dream11 has taken over the opportunity. Dream11 is the new title sponsor, and it won the rights of title sponsorship with Rs. 222 crore bid.
