  If you’re wondering just how pandemic-resistant  the world’s leading sports franchises are, look no further than Fred Wilpon’s New York Mets. The Amazin’s, the No. 2 team in Major League Baseball’s most valuable market, were put in play by Wilpon in February after nearly two decades of ownership, putting them on track to be the first big-market Major League Baseball franchise to be sold in eight years. They are hardly a crown jewel. Wilpon was reluctant to keep pace with the league’s rising payrolls, leaving the Mets without a World Series win since 1986 and bleeding cash long before the coronavirus eliminated more than half the season and all of the franchise’s stadium revenues. That hasn’t stopped an all-star list of buyers from kicking the tires, including hedge-fund titan Steve Cohen and private-equity guru Josh Harris, one of whom will likely end up paying more than $2 billion for the franchise, one of 57 teams worth at least that amount. A decade ago, there was on...

  Back in March 2020, the outbreak of coronavirus forced The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to postpone the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 for a month. In April, the league was postponed for an indefinite period and there were doubts if the board would be able to stage IPL at all. Since the BCCI was staring at a loss of Rs 4000 crore, it was always open to staging the tournament outside the country. And in July, it confirmed UAE as the host nation. For the first time after a decade, the complete edition of the tournament was played outside India. The IPL franchises ferried their players to UAE in August and the tournament culminated successfully on November 10, when Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals to lift the trophy for the fifth time. Thanks to the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), the BCCI successfully staged IPL and earned Rs 4,000 crore. The tournament also drew record viewership. In a conversation with  The Indian Express , BCCI's Treasur...

  The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) finally managed to complete the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) successfully as the final was played between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday night. Soon after the tournament ended, reports have now suggested that the Indian board is in no mood of cancelling the mega auction scheduled for next year. Considering the 13th edition was scheduled to be played in March but was postponed for November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was earlier reported that the BCCI might cancel the mega auction scheduled for next year as there wasn’t much time left for the forthcoming edition of the IPL. However, as reported by  The New Indian Express,  the Indian board has already informed the franchises to start preparing for the mega auction. “The BCCI has told us to be prepared for an auction in a couple of months. Though it is not official, that the...

  After an absence of more than a year and his international career behind him, MS Dhoni arrived in the Chennai Super Kings camp to kickstart preparations for the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League. In the training camp, however, Dhoni left many surprised including former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan by taking wicket-keeping drills, something that he isn't normally seen doing. It's been a while since Dhoni played cricket. The man known for his big hits, finishing skills and unorthodox wicket-keeping, has already impressed everyone with his batting prowess in the nets. As the start of the new season gets closer, Dhoni was spotted keeping wickets for a spinner in training, something that he is hardly seen doing in normal circumstances. "We have seen a new visual where we have seen MS Dhoni keeping the wickets. This never happens, this is something new for me because I have played cricket for so many years with him, whether it is for the Indian team or in the league ...
