IPL advertising receives steady growth in categories

Without a shadow of a doubt, cricket is the favourite sport of India. And it only makes sense that the Dream 11 IPL is one of the most-watched sporting events in the entire calendar year. 

Now that the IPL is brought to fans completely through television sets, the only source of revenue for the teams and the tournament in itself is through mass advertising and broadcasting deals. 

Keeping to the topic of advertisements, 162 brands have been actively advertising during the broadcast timings of the IPL since the 12th edition of the tournament.
