How India Made Cricket a Billion-Dollar Business REACTION! | Bloomberg Originals 

No questions..just MSD in thumbnail ndd pressed within seconds 😂

Fun fact :-American think cricket look like baseball. Le indian what is baseball😂😂

As an MSD fan I clicked this video within just a few seconds ❤❤❤ Love MSD

Disney+ Hotstar apparently lost 4million subscriptions because they lost the streaming rights to IPL 2023😅

I am an Indian... And for me despite the euphoria of T20... Test cricket is still the best form. Watching it with my dad when India plays Australia or England. Every single ball being a bullet and every single bounce being a story on its own.... Test Cricket is absolutely beauty... The way you live a game for 5 days is peak cricket

"colonisers and their lack of spice". I'm dead 🤣🤣

I like how she unknowingly guessed there is a concept of tea in test cricket 😂😂

MS Dhoni is an emotion ❤

People who watches “what is cricket “ videos and judges that 5 day test cricket is stupid and crazy doesn’t know the real essence and beauty of Test cricket and obviously they can’t understand coz it can never be described in few videos.

Test match is not boring sometimes because it tests the temperament of the team at the end. Who survives..

I think BCCI is right in ruling that Indian Players are not allowed to play for foreign franchises because IPL earns from Indian Public and given the magnitude of our viewership why would we want to help other countries earn billons by our population. Also Indian best players earn Millions each Week, why will they go some other country to get few thousand dollars for one month. Now when Cricket comes to US even US Govt will create an environment to benefit from most from the game. Every country has its own self-Interest certainly when India needs of faster GDP growth why wont we attract more companies in our backyard.

Sachin was the main reason Cricket became popular in India

Adding to the point of BCCI not letting players to participate in other cricket tournaments. I think you'd also have to consider condition of the players. India plays highest number of international matches in a calendar year. If you add in the IPL into the mix and other domestic tournaments as well. There's hardly time for them to participate. Also, you'd have to take in physical fatigue that a player would have when there's no break in their schedule and are more prone to injuries, which would be a huge blow during events like World cup.

Jaby they knew business better , that’s how they have made it so far . Changes are about to come with franchise owning players rather than countries . This is something is on its way

99.99% people only clicked because of MSD 😂💘

A few days ago Iran's National Cricket Team Head coach requested BCCI to train their players and build International cricket stadium in Chhabar. He also said that their cricket players take inspiration from MS Dhoni & Virat Kohli. However, Saudi Arabia also showing so much interest and seeks help from BCCI to bloom cricket in its country.

22:28 when shukla said that indian players are not allowed to perform in any other leagues abroad is majorly because it is a tight schedule for players already , if they compete in other leagues then it would affect their performance in the international games like in the world cup

India Won SAFF 2023, its really hard but India may qualify for FIFA WC 2026, India finished 3rd in Asian Athletics championship 2023 with total medal tally higher than China, India performs amazingly well in Shooting championships, Boxing, wrestling, weightlifting, Archery, Table tennis and badminton. Neeraj Chopra, the new hero in India the Javelin star, won gold medal in Diamond league this year and last year as well. So we are doing really good in other sports but people still love cricket the most.

8:27 they don't know how much test matches are dangerous, to face 150mph ballers in match 😂

Jaby is smart ass putting MSD in thumbnails!!😂😂

As long India is loving cricket cricket is surviving

Not allowing to play for other leagues is quite a simple but effective strategy. You can watch big English ballers clash with West Indies's batsmen in Australian cricket league, Carribbean cricket league, S. African cricket league and so on.. but to watch a clash of english ballers with Indian batsman; or Indian ballers with renowned Australian batting line up you gotta wait for IPL. And given the fact the Indian fans are providing this huge viewership to IPL, so even though Indian audience follow cricketers from all over the world, they still have have a soft spot, a longing a special interest for Indian players. So in this way you hold the audience with you, at the same time not letting your rivals grow. It also helps that India has one the best, if not THE BEST cricketing talent pool in the world apart from already established big names. So you protect them too. Plus too much of diamond in the wild will deteriorate the value.

29:20 in order to qualify as a olympic sports , national team has to be under government directly but cricket governs under a private body

8:36 this is so funny because a test match does consist of multiple tea breaks.lmao

Cricket is in the Bloods of all Indians.❤❤❤.

Cricket spirit is different ,those who have knowledge know the Josh .It's not a lazy game but a game of temperament

She is awesome 😂😂😂.... Make her permanent!!!!

Loved that you rewinded to actually understand what was shown.

Bro BCCI changed the rules 😂 Indian players can play abroad . But they can't afford our international players because bcci pays a lot and keep them away from injury . Actually BCCI not only sponsers South African premier league and other countries local leagues ( owned by Indian businesses men ) But countries like Australia n England have their own autonomy but Indian population contributes their viewership also . India , Australia , England rules the Cricket world board . With India contributing 80% its revenue , hence the monopoly.

In 90s the BCCI paid money to broadcast cricket. And now it earns Billions

Bring that lady again on ur shows she's so genuine...loved her reaction 💞

23:20 We aren't resisting the change we are the change 😂

Hey jaby BCCI is not trying to stop change it is just a strategy to not fall in a pit of holes. Foreign cricket has dates issues with Indian leagues and it's tiring for the players of the international Indian team. even after the IPL, Indian team doesn't give the desired outcome than fans gives their reaction in different forms sometimes more violent than you ever thought.

20:16 Netflix USED TO be expensive in India back until 2022 but now its pretty affordable at just ₹149 or ₹199 per month (around just *$2 USD* per month). They've also been gaining subscribers lately.

MLC (Major League Cricket) - US was started its 1st T20 cricket league (similar to indian premier league) a week ago successfully with much fanfare exceeding expectations.

8:32 there is literally a thing called Tea break in first class cricket( Test Cricket) 😂😂

When you understand the cricket as normal viewer then you like cricket as much as any NBA game

Lorena roasting British is the highlight of today's video😂

He's Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Hes a Bharat Ratna, thats his aura. Thats why he is God of cricket. And if Sachin would know your case he would probably apologize to you, such a man he is.

Just so let you know, as of this date of video, there is Mega Cricket League 2023 going on in U.S.A and I am follwing that league too. I don't know exactly how the politics and crowd-pulling works in America, but there are 6 cities or franchise participating:- Texas Super Kings (Franchisee of Chennai Super KIngs) MI New York (Franchisee of Mumbai Indians) LA Knight Riders (Franchisee of Kolakata Knight Riders) San Franciso Unicorns Washington Freedom Seattle Orcas Do watch some of it as it would be mostly held in Texas and Los Angeles ☺

Endorsements keeps celebrities relevant in big country like India and also helps them build their brand value, like MSD did

It is called monopoly. India has the biggest cricketing stars, and their non-participation will keep fans away from other leagues.

I love Virat kohli.

as an Indian let me tell you something, I don't remember when i learned those rules of cricket it was just there since as long as i could remember.

Bro . U.S. officially started their cricket league "Major Cricket League".

If you want to learn cricket rules and if you know baseball rules then their is a video which is titled "Cricket explained to baseball fans"

i love the intro music, its amazing

Jaby should come to India next year for IPL 2024 and enjoy the RCB game!..

4:06 that's hilarious 😂😂... One of them is playing with a bat and one of them is playing with a ball. That came out so wrong

Cricket can never be summed up in one video. Everyone is quite optimistic because cricket is formless. It's interesting with new rules and challenges coming up. Cricket is taking the world by storm now !!! Each nation wants its share of cricketing 😇

Well Jaby, you can only understand Cricket once you start playing on Ground..

16:02 😂😂😂 I think I'm in love

When Lorena said that brits would go for a tea break 7:34 and go jog instead of run 8:36 that really cracked me up. Couldn't be more true

Major League Cricket is going on in USA right now, if you can you guys should go and watch the Semi final or final , it should be around 27 th to 30th July

7:31 - Quote of the week " slice of Unseasoned food " 👻 ... 1st time watching, luved n subscribed ..

In love with Lorena already... ❤

I swear they have reacted to same/ similar videos like 3 times already from Bloomberg itself ....😂

I love the fact that this documentary uses the correct term to describe the IPL, which is "glamor". There used to be first-class cricket which was popular, and then there was the format of ODIs, which gave higher popularity, but the actual explosion of popularity started with the "franchise" model and the intense action of twenty-20 matches made it more interesting to follow. 9:06 Yes, Lorena, it is kind of frustrating for the audience to watch for 5 straight days, and watch the match conclude in an inconclusive way. On the other hand, it is also a tactic for the teams sometimes, when their rate of run-scoring is not fast enough, just to hold on their wickets long enough to conclude the match in a draw. 11:25 That's a pretty accurate summary of the 1980s in terms of the Indian cricket stage. Pre-1980s, Indian team wasn't regarded as great. The team under the leadership of Kapil Dev turned the whole image around, making India as a "star" team, and raising the prestige of "Indian cricket" to a competitive level. 14:10 The IPL did add all the glamor, with all the cheerleaders and the opening ceremonies, brand integrations directly into the team franchises and direct match sponsor companies running their version of glamor. As they mentioned, this made IPL, not just into a league, but into a television spectacle event. 21:50 Yes, Jaby, that is in fact the BCCI flexing its muscles because it has become one of the most dominant forces in the International Cricket stage. It's nothing more than the BCCI attempting to grab onto power and prevent its power from being usurped. If countries like the UAE or Qatar start their own cricket leagues, then they can pour in more money to make sure that the eyeballs gravitate towards them, simply by auctioning in many more famous players to fill their rosters, which would pull the big brands away from the IPL, weakening the BCCI's revenue stream. A suggestion: If you guys could get Lorena to sit for a movie reaction, get her to watch "Lagaan". It is an extremely well done movie, which gives a nice introduction to cricket, and has that tension associated with the sport itself, as key plot moments.

Test cricket is by far the epitome of cricket since you can see the highest quality cricket possible being played in tests. But you need to be a pure cricket fan to enjoy test cricket & is not as attractive to the masses as T20 cricket.

Le me correct....we Indians don't watch it like movies....since we are passionate about it we watch every move of the ball and bat even act as a coach trainer mentor or player , give inputs strategies even if all of us failed to be active as the player. Such involvement makes you enjoy.

Learning Cricket is easier when you play it!!!

The real cricket is test cricket. It tests player physically, mentally and players will learn alot.

Netflix is around 499 i.e. around 7 usd per month. But Amazon is 1500 i.e. 15 usd per year+ they give free one day delivery. Similar for Disney.Nobody spend 5000 yearly for just movies list which they won't ever watch. Netflix doesn't have India specific content.

The 5 days cricket which is the "test cricket" is an absolute beauty. Ironically it is more intense than the other formats.

Test cricket is the highest form of cricket. No matter which country it is being played in. Test cricket is excellence. It is where sports becomes an intellectual debate and discussion.

I absolutely love her personality. So cute and energetic❣️

Plz bring lorena for more reactions bcz she is spot on with thing’s and sooo full of energy! Love her laugh and reactions ❤

Hey Jaby, there is one league currently going on in the US called MLC. The 2023 Major League Cricket season (also known as the 2023 MLC) is the inaugural season of the Major League Cricket,[1] a franchise Twenty20 cricket league established in 2019 by American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) in the United States. The season is planned to be hosted at two venues, Grand Prairie and Morrisville. The season is being played from July 13 to 31, 2023. There are few ipl frenchise which have tweaked little bit of their name and are playing in this tournament such as : CSK playing as TSK(Texas super kings) and MI playing as MI New York.

I am a simple man I saw MSD in the thumbnail and I clicked it

I luv how lorena takes down the colonisers 😅😂🔥.....started to luv her more ❤❤️‍🔥😍🤩

Resistance already in Texas, few months back, a new cricket stadium been stopped by Allen, TX, now it's been built in Garland, TX. Right now MLC happening in newly built stadium. Couple of years back, in Mckinney,TX few got notice for playing open field Cricket, which they dont want, since it not been identified here. now stadium been built with 15k capacity & full house.

@CineDesi I am so happy that jaby is still wearing the breaclet given by Vidyut Jamwal.

*BCCI Is POWERFUL & RICH!* *The Thing Is They Also Prohibits Players From Participating Because It Will Put Strain On The Players, As The Schedule Is Already Pretty Strenuous And When It’s International Cricket… Meaning World Cup Or One Country Playing Against Another, Where We **_NEED_** Our Players To Be Fit, Give Their Best AND Win For The Country! If Our Important Players Get Injured, Strained, Exhausted Or Give Preferences To Leagues Than Winning For Their Country, **_It Will Become HUGELY Problematic._* 💀

Now I want cricket to be renamed "Haddipa"

It's not only BCCI but also Indian audiences don't want to see our players in other leagues. Not even retired players. IPL is an emotion and other cricket leagues are just tournaments.

To summarise, est Cricket is the most pure form of classic cricket shots and moments T20 cricket is where the money and viewership lies

SACHIN sir 🔥GOD OF CRICKET 🙏

India doesn't allow Indian cricketers to play outside just to create exclusivity which helps them to generate much audience through maintaining exclusiveness of those big named players!

How do you expect BBC to explain colonization 😈😈😈

Just want u to know that , BCCI don’t allow players in other leagues, they have there own reasons and on the other hand BCCI don’t force foreign players to participate in IPL. (If there player plays in IPL, each board gets money from BCCI)They come because of money. In short money is power ..

Actually MLC is currently going on. With a glimpse on it, I can say it is pretty competitive.

The packed cricketing schedule for Indian players throughout the year serves as part of a broader business strategy. While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a major component of this strategy, Indian players are also heavily involved in various other cricketing events. Their schedules are carefully managed to ensure their fitness and availability for national team commitments. To maintain the players' fitness levels and prioritize their contributions to the Indian team, specific restrictions are applied. These restrictions may include resting players for certain matches or series, rotating players to manage their workload, and providing ample rest periods between matches and tournaments. In recognition of their contributions to both the Indian team and the IPL, players are generously compensated. They receive substantial financial rewards for representing the national team, as they are centrally contracted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The contracts are based on factors such as performance and their overall contribution to Indian cricket. In addition to their national team contracts, players also earn significant income through IPL contracts, sponsorships, endorsements, and various commercial opportunities. Overall, the tightly packed cricketing schedule, along with the restrictions and compensation, are all part of a well-planned business strategy. The aim is to strike a balance between players' participation in international cricket, their involvement in the IPL, and their overall fitness and well-being. These measures ensure that Indian players remain competitive on the field and are rewarded both financially and professionally for their contributions. That is why they are not allowed to participate in other T20 leagues.

@cinedesi - indian players were stopped from joining foreign league only those who already joined in IPL because it has happened now,since many franchises have started and some games do intersect between different franchises but on the same day, so players are torn in between and unable to fullfill their contract with franchises.

8:28 🤣🤣🤣 16:03 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol ..25:10 as a domestic state level cricket player myself , all i can say is the game is about building strategies to countering enemies bowling .... its more interesting when you get into pitch and play...brain should be building strategies on regular basis and making use of opportunities...finding weakness and making use of the panic situation , giving surprises...etc...its an ocean of emotions , joy , etc....25:43 he got me !

I can say that 😂You are true BCCI focussed on money ,but I also support that ya it's weird but it is

i thought baseball was cricket with weirder bat as well.

Dhoni indeed retired from international cricket but not from IPL as much as I know. Also, Netflix wanted to buy streaming rights I think in 2022, but they lost to Disney+Reliance.

24:00 Correction: all the major IPL teams are involved in many other country leagues. They've different teams in different leagues with almost the same names. They are riding the change, but the players are the gold that BCCI can't afford to share.

Jaby the reason for players playing different league around the world to earn money that set. IPL and BCCI itself provide so much money to the indian players and apart from that indian players earned million of dollars through their colabs and commercial that even if BCCI allowed them to play in all leagues then also apart from new young players no one will go to play because they r earning very good here and their rest focus will be play for National team INDIA. So this is the main reason.

Fun fact:- First international cricket match was between America and Canada

I like it when people, especially reaction channels, are willing to take their time and aren't afraid to go back and re-watch a portion of the video they didn't get the first time instead of continuing and pretending they understood it.

There is a video that explains cricket to baseball people! A very good explanation drawing parallels between the 2 sports!

waiting for the reaction of "the roar of the lion" about CSK .....for really really long time hope it happens.....💛💛💛

watching this video only for MSD thumbnails

I wish i could really speak to bloomberg as to how crisply they explained the entire game so sufficiently

Disney+ and Prime Video costs approx. $18/year (top tier subscription). While Netflix's Top Tier costs around $8/month. Not to mention, new OTT (JioCinema is coming up) and all these 3 provide very wide range of content, meanwhile Netflix gives 1-2 good stuff to watch in a year, which is just not worth subscribing for.

23:00 BCCI not letting our players playing in other Big Bash leagues is contributing a lot in our loses at the world cups. The players here aren't as well suited with foreign pitches which is causing us a huge disadvantage whereas players from other countries gets to test their hand at stadiums world wide.

Hat joke of test cricket being player jogging is so true😂😂😂😂this is so true that it's considered part of test culture to not run fast and respect bowler if you don't want to get out .... cricket become very british in test format😂😂

Its lot diff from baseball, for a fahct there are 5-6 bowlers/pitchers who bowls, you can score runs/ play shots 360 degree all around the ground vs baseball where runs are only forward hitting. In cricket ball comes after a bounce generally not directly on the plate so it is difficult to judge the bounce and swing while baseball you care abt only curves and swing

Jaby if you want to know the quality and consistency of a player, Most coaches recommend 5 days cricket, beacuse the level of focus it takes to strike, leave or let the ball hit your body is immense. It's not easy to stand on crease for 90 overs (generally 1 day) which is 540 odd balls and face them without giving your wicket away in any means. Some players do this for 2-3 days shows the level of concentration they achieved. While the opposition fielders trying to sledge batsman verbally so that he loses focus and get out.
