After IPL, Tata Group bags title rights of WPL too | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: The Tata Group, which is the title sponsor of the IPL, will also be the title sponsor of the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League.
“I am delighted to announce the #TataGroup as the title sponsor of the inaugural #WPL. With their support, we’re confident that we can take women’s cricket to the next level.@BCCI.@BCCIWomen@wplt20,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah tweeted on Tuesday.

The Indian corporate giant had last year replaced Vivo as the title sponsor for the IPL. Apparently, the deal with Tata for the WPL title sponsorship is for five years. The value of the deal, though, could not be ascertained.
The BCCI has a broadcaster – Viacom 18 – in place for the WPL. The maiden edition of the league will be held in Mumbai from March 4 to 26 at the DY Patil Stadium and the Brabourne Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The league will have 22 games for the first three years. The BCCI had earlier sold the five franchises in WPL for Rs 4670 crore, with Adani Group, Reliance, RCB (Diageo), Delhi Capital and Capri Global buying teams in the league.
