The Tata group may remain the title sponsor of the IPL in 2023 as well. Because Vivo was given a break in 2020. Vivo had bought the IPL sponsorship rights from 2018 to 2022 for Rs 2200 crore but took a one-year break after the military confrontation between India and China in the Galvan Valley in 2020. In his place was the Dream11 sponsor. Vivo became the sponsor again in 2021, although there was speculation that they wanted to transfer the rights and the BCCI supported it.
