Dream11 Ends Sponsorship With Team India, Big Blow to BCCI Ahead of Asia Cup 2025



 New Delhi (Sports Desk): Just days before the start of the Asia Cup 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suffered a major setback. Team India’s official jersey sponsor Dream11 has abruptly ended its partnership with the board.


πŸ“Œ End of a ₹358 Crore Deal


BCCI and Dream11 had signed a ₹358 crore three-year sponsorship deal (2023–26). However, after the introduction of the Online Gaming Bill 2025, which bans real-money fantasy games, Dream11 informed BCCI that it can no longer continue as the front-jersey sponsor.



πŸ“Œ Crisis Before the Asia Cup


The Asia Cup 2025 is set to kick off on 9 September in the UAE. With Dream11’s sudden exit, Team India may take the field without a front-jersey sponsor — a rare and shocking situation just before a major ICC event.



πŸ“Œ BCCI’s Search for a New Partner


BCCI has confirmed the termination of the deal and is now actively scouting for a replacement. Reports suggest that Toyota and a few FinTech startups have shown interest, but no agreement has been finalized yet.


πŸ“Œ What’s Next?


Dream11’s withdrawal has not only hit BCCI financially but also created a sponsorship vacuum at a critical moment. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see which brand will take over the prestigious spot on Team India’s jersey ahead of the Asia Cup.
