BCCI becomes the richest cricket board in the world worth INR 14,489 crores

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is one of the cash-rich cricket boards across the globe. According to the reports, the Indian board was worth an enormous amount of INR 14,489.80 crore at the end of the financial year 2018-19, adding to that Rs 2,597.19 crore to its financial potent. However, the balance sheet of the year 2018-19 hasn’t been publicly announced, while the board is still busy preparing the earnings of the financial year 2019-20.

According to a report by IANS, more than half of the Rs 4,017.11 crore, the BCCI earned under “income” during the year was a majority from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 which is approximately INR 2,407.46. During the Financial Year of 2018-19, BCCI’s second-highest income was from media rights of the Indian team which was Rs 828 crore. At the same time, the BCCI incurred an expenditure of Rs 1,592.12 crore during the year.

“As per the Societies Act, under which the BCCI is registered, it should submit its balance sheet within six months of the end of each financial year, besides sharing it with its members (state associations), and the International Cricket Council. Without submitting its balance sheet with the ICC, the BCCI will not get its share of distributions from the world body,” a source told IANS.

BCCI’s other incomes include the Men’s senior international tournaments and tours and series, it hosted in the financial year 2018-19 and earned INR 446.26 crore from it, while it received interest from the bank of about INR 290.73 crore also and the income from the ICC/Asian Cricket Council is INR Rs 25.03 crore.

Moreover, from the past few years, BCCI’s income has gone up mainly because of the sale of the media rights of the Indian team for the bilateral Tests, ODIs, and T20 matches played at home, the IPL media rights, national team (jersey) sponsor, and series sponsor.

BCCI’s broadcast rights holder, Star India Network, pays BCCI Rs 43.20 crore per international home match. During the financial year 2018-19, India hosted 22 international games –seven Tests, 10 ODIs, and five T20s, which comes up with a total of Rs 950.40 crore, and for the telecast of IPL, STAR Network India, made a stupefying bid of Rs 16,347.50 crore for five years, which is Rs 54.50 crore per match.

Not only this, another source of earning for BCCI is the sponsors for the national team with a total of seven sponsors with Byju’s, the team sponsor, STAR Sports for the broadcaster, PayTM as the title sponsor, Hyundai, Dream11, and Ambuja Cement as the partners and kit sponsor with MPL Sports. Series sponsor PayTM pays Rs 2.42 crore per match, national team jersey sponsor, Oppo pays them Rs 4.61 crore per match, before Byju’s took over on September 5, 2019, to March 31, 2022.

Derrick White reportedly suffers fracture on the toe; his return will be based on rehab

Derrick White had only suited up once for the San Antonio Spurs this season on Friday, in a loss against the Los Angeles Lakers in which he played for 23 minutes. He was on a minutes restriction. Else, he had been limited by a toe injury that has gotten worse since it’s initial diagnosis.

In August of 2020, White had offseason toe surgery and was dealing with a sprain on that left toe. He missed training camp, the preseason and the first four games of the regular season. On Sunday, he stubbed that toe, aggravating the injury. On Monday, it was learnt that he has suffered a fractured of that toe, and no timeline has been mentioned for his possible return, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

White missed San Antonio’s loss to Utah on Sunday which was the team’s fourth straight defeat following two wins during the opening of the season. Lonnie Walker and Keldon Johnson have both taken substantial steps forward, and the silver lining to White’s injury or that it could mean more playing time for the first-round pick and rookie Devin Vassell.

Before the season, White agreed to a four-year, $73 million contract extension with the Spurs. Now that White has seen recurring issues with that same toe, that long-term security looks invaluable. The Spurs do not need to rush White back to the court as they have so much young talent on the backcourt.

The 20th pick in the 2017 draft out of Colorado, White has been one of San Antonio’s key scorers and distributers since the past two seasons. He averaged a career-high 11.3 points with 3.5 assists last season. In seven games post the restart, he averaged 18.9 points, 5.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 29.8 minutes.

Apple’s upcoming Foldable iPhone patents leaked, prototypes pass Foxconn’s durability test

For the past couple of months, news has been roaming out in the market that Apple may launch its first foldable iPhone in 2022. It is not the first time we are hearing such kind of news. Earlier, we also got a similar kind of news regarding the foldable segment of Apple. But, Apple has not confirmed anything yet as it is currently working on the foldable technology. As per reports, the company is already getting iPhone testing samples from a Taiwanese factory.

Now, a recent report says that Apple has passed its two upcoming foldable iPhones through its durability test showing that both the variants look quite unique and the bending mechanism is quite similar to the Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold or Z Flip. One of those Apple devices folds horizontally whereas the other one folds vertically. As of now, any of those is not fully functional as only the chassis and display components have been tested.

Apart from it, a couple of patent images has been leaked showing the expected mechanical designs of the upcoming foldable iPhones. The patent name is “Folding Electronic Devices With Geared Hinges.” This patent was filed by the iPhone-makers explaining the usabilities of advanced hinges and gears of a foldable device. Let’s how it will work.

The patent states that the “first and second portions of an electronic device housing for the [foldable] device may be joined using a hinge”. Additionally, the hinge is expected to contain “toothed members such as gears and a rack member” by which the user can fold the device in both directions.

The patent reads, “The rack member may have a surface with curved portions. The gears may include rotating gears that walk along the curved portions of the rack member as the electronic device is folded and unfolded. The hinge may include gears that are fixedly attached to the first and second housing portions and that engage the rotating gears. Linkage members may hold together gears and the rack member.”

The patent added more, saying, “The display may be an organic light-emitting diode display, a micro-light-emitting diode display formed from an array of crystalline semiconductor light-emitting diode dies, and/or maybe any other suitable display,”

As of now, Apple has not confirmed anything about the time in which it will launch its very-first foldable device. But it doesn’t look like it can make its entry in 2021, so we have to wait for another year, possibly in 2022, we might expect Apple to launch its first-ever foldable iPhone.

Xiaomi Mi 11 tops Antutu’s December rankings with the aid of Snapdragon 888 SoC

Antutu usually comes up with its monthly Top 10 charts. They have posted the same about the last month as well. The timeline of this chart stands from December 1 to December 31. Unsurprisingly, Xiaomi Mi 11 has topped the charts with a benchmark score of 708425. This is because the smartphone is run by Qualcomm’s latest SoC called Snapdragon 888. Last week, Xiaomi Mi 11 became the first smartphone in the world to be powered by Snapdragon 888 SoC. Currently, it is the most powerful Android chipset available in the market. It is the only smartphone in the world that is run by this latest SoC but soon we are expecting to see a huge influx of smartphones with Qualcomm’s new chipset. You can view the chart in the image below.

Xiaomi Mi 11 is closely followed up by Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ and Huawei Mate 40 Pro smartphones. Both of these devices are powered by the Kirin 9000. Other devices that are in the top 10 are run by Snapdragon 865, the predecessor of Snapdragon 888. Huawei Mate 40, which takes the 9th spot, is run by Kirin 9000E.

None of the smartphones which is run by Exynos has featured in this list. This shows that Exynos is a bit weaker when compared to other SoCs like Snapdragon 865. The top 10 list is entirely dominated by three Chinese OEMs, that are, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Vivo. The Top 10 list for mid-range smartphones is also dominated by Xiaomi and Huawei. You can see in the image below. 8 of the top 10 spots are the brands of these two OEMs. The 9th spot and 10th spot are captured by Oppo and Realme respectively.

Both of these lists are going to change in January and we might see a few smartphones with new chipsets altogether.

Epic Games purchase Cary Town Center

Epic Games have been extremely aggressive in the year 2020. From competing with everything they have against Apple to offering games at relatively low cost for games available on the Epic platform.

Recently the company announced that it is working to increase its Human resource power and is working towards procuring more facilities to set-up as their base. As such the recent news shouldn’t come as a surprise. According to yesterday’s report, Epic Games reached an agreement with Turnbridge Equities and Denali Properties to acquire ownership of the Cary Town Center.

The facility is 980,000-square-foot and 87-acre in size and it will be converted into the new Epic Games campus ‘HQ’, to start work this year and eventually move here from their current location at Crossroads Boulevards by 2024.

The company is in the works of increasing its man-force and its major new deals seem like it is gearing to take down its rival Steam.

Cary, NC Mayor Harold Weinbrecht said:

“We’re extremely proud that Epic has chosen to call Cary home for their new global headquarters, and we greatly appreciate the company’s recognition of Cary’s existing assets as well as the unlimited potential of the area for their growing business. We look forward to continuing to work closely and collaboratively with the Epic team as they conceptualize their new campus, and we’re honored to partner with them on this exciting new development.”

While the acquisition could be a hint that Epic Games is planning to expand its workforce over the next few years, but let’s not forget that the company has lots of game projects to work on. more importantly, it is working on making its favorite child Fortnite a more improved and feature-rich game.

Jason Davis, Managing Director at Turnbridge Equities, added:

“Epic shares our vision for transforming Cary Towne Center into a vibrant community space. This sale is further validation of our value-driven investment strategy, and the property could not be placed in better hands. After years of shifting development plans for the Center, we are thrilled space will be utilized to its full potential and turned into something the Town and community of Cary can be proud of.”
