The Indian Premier League (IPL) is likely to witness a change in title sponsorship as Vivo wants to pull out. It has been learned that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will replace the Chinese handset company with Tata.
As reported by Cricbuzz, the decision was taken at the meeting of the IPL Governing Council (IGC) meeting on Tuesday (January 11).
The IGC has agreed to Vivo’s request to transfer the title rights to Tata, one of the biggest corporates of the country. The former still has a couple of years left in its sponsorship deal with the league. However, during this period, Tata will remain the main sponsor.
The league is likely to be called as ‘Tata Indian Premier League’.
