SaralnamaApollo Tyres won the sponsorship rights for the Indian cricket team. The Gurgaon-based company outbid Canva and JK Cements with a ₹579 crore offer. The deal covers 121 bilateral matches and 21 ICC fixtures over three years. The per-match value averages ₹4.77 crore. This follows BCCI's cancellation of its contract with Dream11 due to new online gaming laws. Apollo's logo will first appear on India A jerseys in Kanpur. The Indian team's first official match with the new sponsor will be a Test series against West Indies starting. To get the new jerseys ready, BCCI has asked selectors to finalize the India A squad early. (Updated 16 Sep 2025, 16:33 IST; source: link)
