The rights to India's home international games for four years from April 2010 have been provisionally awarded to Nimbus Communications for a projected valuation of Rs. 2000 crore (US$431 million). The deal is fixed at Rs 31.25 crore (approximately $6.6 million) per match, whether a Test, ODI or Twenty20, and is conditional on Nimbus furnishing a bank guarantee by January 15 of Rs 2000 crore.
Its the highest ever deal for a broadcaster. Why is Cricket so popular in India? Don't we have other sports also? How can we promote other Sports in a Cricket loving country?

Formula 1 - Force India
Well Jenson Button is the Formula 1 champion for this season. But This year will also be remebered for the Vijay Mallya's team " Force India". The team was formed in October 2007. Force India won their first Formula One world championship points and podium place when Giancarlo Fisichella finished second in the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix. Force India shocked Formula 1 again with Adrian Sutil snatching a well fought 4th position after starting the race from P2 in the next Italian GP.
Force India F1 represents increased Indian participation within Formula One, with Delhi set to host the first ever Indian Grand Prix in 2011.
Many people knows India for its population and Cricket. But now its time for India to show to the world that India is not only about Cricket but many more things. History was rewritten when Abhinav Bindra gave india its first ever gold medal in Olympics in an individual event. Many more sports are coming to the fore. To increase the popularity among indians for other sports than cricket, media has a biggr role.
Please start encouraging olympic games, I am sure India has a talent. What we need is a commitment from Indian government.

Champions league T20, 2009
T20 cricket is all about excitement and thrill. Moreover, it has brought cricket to the next level. Gone are the days of Test cricket and 50-50 one day international. But why there is so much hype on T20? I think India winning the inaugural T20 championship was the turning point.
It got a good hype because this type of cricket is short and entertaining. Then came ICL (Indian cricket League) which involved players from different countries to participate in Indian county. Got good popularity around the world but shortly ICL was pounded and smashed by a new league i.e. IPL. Everyone knows whats IPL is about. Its about money honey. A huge success in 2008 season touched highest ever TRP in Indian television history.
But what happen to Champions league T20, 2009?
Would anyone like to comment on that....
