Cricket Australia is considering BBL 16 opener in India

The point does remain that IPL generate far more views than PSL. Take that and multiply with the cost per 1k views and you'll arrive at the differential.

IPL probably has 5-7 times the number of views that PSL does. Multiply both the factors together and IPL bring 25-49 times bigger than PSL in terms of views arises.

Plus I'm assuming that the ad revenue is factored in your calculations. If its not , the number rises exponentially again.

An IPL revenue per season vs PSL revenue per season is probably the more apt way to look at this. Especially as IPL has more matches.

And at this point , the IPL franchises don't need to depend on majorly their own funds to buy the players as they are getting a share of the revenue which more than compensates for the huge player purchases etc. That and their alternate revenue streams.

CA Eyes BBL Swap Deal With BCCI: Report​

A fresh proposal could see the Indian Premier League expand its footprint beyond traditional boundaries, with the iconic Adelaide Oval being considered as a potential venue for a single match in 2027. The initiative is being explored by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA), which is keen to bring one of the world’s biggest T20 leagues to Australian soil. According to SEN Cricket, SACA President and Chairman Will Rayner, along with Adelaide Oval Chairman Jamie Briggs, has already engaged multiple stakeholders regarding the possibility of hosting an IPL fixture.

The move follows ongoing discussions between Cricket Australia (CA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Earlier this year, Cricket Australia (CA) had approached the Indian board with a proposal to stage the opening fixture of the 2026-27 Big Bash League (BBL) season in Chennai, indicating a possible exchange arrangement between the two cricketing bodies.

The concept is being positioned as a mutually beneficial agreement aimed at strengthening ties between the IPL and the BBL.

While the BCCI is yet to receive formal communication, discussions are expected to take shape in the near future. The idea was also reportedly shared with CA CEO Todd Greenberg during the 2025-26 Sheffield Shield final, which took place at Adelaide Oval in late March.

The IPL has previously ventured outside India, including a full season in South Africa in 2009, with editions staged in the UAE in 2020 and partially in 2021.

Adelaide Oval continues to strengthen its position as a premier global cricket venue. It has already secured hosting rights for the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2028, which will be jointly organized by CA and New Zealand Cricket in October and November.

With a seating capacity of 53,500, the venue is expected to draw massive crowds if an IPL match is staged there. Interest is likely to surge, particularly if high-profile teams such as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) or Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) feature, especially alongside marquee players like Virat Kohli who has a remarkable record at the venue.

India population vs Pakistan population must play a part a huge difference in population.

Australia have gone soft.

I couldn't imagine Australia selling out to India 20 years ago. Back when Aussies had backbones. The real Aussies under Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting.

More monetization per person as well.

Neither of whom won series in India. Ponting couldn't even captain a single test win.

Lol there was no IPL in Waugh’s time so you don’t know what he would have done, and Ponting was among the first ones to throw his name in the hat hoping to get picked up in IPL, and currently has been selling his services as a coach for over a decade.
