The IPL market has been declining over the past 18–24 months. Broadcasters are struggling to generate the expected returns, and several franchises are still finding it difficult to achieve strong profitability. Even Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka has publicly explained the challenges.
If broadcasters aren't seeing proportional growth in revenue, what incentive is there for them to pay more for two additional teams? Expanding the tournament could also dilute its competitiveness, excitement and viewership.
The decline has become even more noticeable since the shutdown of RMG platforms, which were an important part of the IPL's commercial ecosystem.
Adding two more teams without first rebuilding the market, improving franchise valuations and securing stronger broadcasting economics would be a terrible business decision.
The IPL and Indian cricket need to rebuild their commercial ecosystem first. Expansion should come only when the market is strong enough to support it.

Now All The Fantasy Players Realized That The Moto Behind PROGA Is To Shut The Legal Skill Based Fantasy And To Boost The Offshore Betting Industry Because Your Earning Is More From This Betting Market
ABSOLUTELY THIS IS A MASTERSTROKE BY ASHWINI VAISHNAV😡
India’s government ordered blocking of 100+ illegal betting websites based on two court orders that Reuters found were fake. The orders carried blue court seals, a fake QR code and made-up case numbers such as “Writ - A 30480/2026”. Uttar Pradesh police have opened a forgery investigation after Reuters queries to the Allahabad High Court, while the Rajasthan High Court told Reuters in an email the order did not exist on its server. Who sent the orders to the government & how did officials order takedowns?

#Dream11’s next move will make it clear which direction the entire Indian gaming industry is likely to take in the coming days
It will also help players giving them much-needed clarity about what lies ahead and what future opportunities the gaming industry may hold for them

Skill based gaming and illegal betting are not the same
India needs responsible regulation, but policies must recognise the fundamental differences between them.
Regulate fairly and give India's gaming industry a fair chance to grow @GoI_MeitY#RMG#regulateskillgames

Bravo Ministry! Blindly banning legal local apps while illegal offshore platforms run wide open. Your cyber-defenses look like they're on Windows 98, while offshore sites spin up mirror links in 30s—no VPN needed. Complete circus. They're laughing at you like a joker.#Dream11
Spot on regarding the need for "sustainable economics," @LalitKModi. However, expanding to 136 matches requires massive sponsorship inventory and sustained fan interest. The blanket bans and heavy curbs on legitimate Real-Money Gaming (RMG) fantasy platforms have directly hurt the sports economy. RMG wasn’t just a key sponsorship pillar for teams and broadcasters; it was the primary driver turning casual viewers into active, ball-by-ball fans. A 12-team IPL will struggle to monetize effectively without progressive regulation for domestic sports-tech and gaming sponsors.
