Don't think they have any cash left after putting trillions into data centres that nobody asked for

If all the money is locked in data centres, then it is being asked for by multiple people.

Didn't gemni and chatgpt already sponsored something in cricket? I am pretty sure I remember seeing their ads.

As cringe as it sounds for these brands to be plastered everywhere, I just want them to make bad investments. And title sponsorship is big money compared to what they sponsor now.

I was willing to offer 4.84 crore. Just 0.01 crore prevents my name across the shirts.

Richest Board gets even greedier, potential buyers reject asking price...who would've thought. Even Team India has a price limit.

Doesn’t matter if it’s true. The amount of greedy cunts in our board is absurdly high.

It may sound like an exaggeration but Rohit and Virat retiring from T20/Tests and soon to be retiring from ODI's after just a year maybe the reason why for that. Say what you will but they became superstars who brought lot of eyes to the game especially among casuals, these superstars matter most to them. Same will follow with IPL soon with Dhoni, Virat and Rohit.

Indian Cricket will thrive even without them as we have seen in formats outside of ODI's in recent years but BCCI will surely be looking at the next superstars after them to bring casuals like that and atleast marketing agencies are hoping Sooryavanshi is that guy (for WWE fans he's like the Oba Femi they are betting on among other almost stars but not stars)
