From measuring money value of media coverage to relooking team composition, the top teams of the Indian Premier League (IPL) are leaving no ball unscored in their pursuit of a stiff target of profitability. A couple of them have succeeded but others are still running short.
 
Business Standard analysed the latest annual reports of five of the six teams that have survived since the first IPL in 2007 -- Mumbai, Bangalore, Punjab, Delhi and Kolkata. These are run by companies called Indiawin Sports, Royal Challengers Sports, KPH Dream Cricket, GMR Sports and Knight Riders Sports, respectively.
