On a day the Indian cricket team made a fighting comeback to level the test series with Australia, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Tuesday Chinese handset maker Oppo as its sponsor for five years.
Effective April 1, Oppo’s logo will figure on the jerseys of the senior, junior and women’s teams and training gears. For this, Oppo forked out Rs 1,080 crore or Rs 4.61 crore per bilateral match and Rs 1.56 crore for an ICC tournament match.
This is the highest bid ever for Team India sponsorship, surpassing Sahara’s estimated Rs 700-crore deal
