OPPO had won the rights to be Team India’s official sponsor by bidding $162 million for a five-year period starting in April 2017. As a part of the deal, Rs. 4.61 crore per bilateral game involving the Indian team, the smartphone manufacturers will be paying Rs. 1.56 crore for every game featuring in an ICC tournament and Rs. 4.61 crore per bilateral game where Team India is playing.
