In a significant development for Indian cricket, Apollo Tyres has officially announced a groundbreaking ₹579 crore sponsorship deal, making them the new lead sponsor for Team India. This monumental partnership marks a new era for the squad, with Apollo Tyres replacing Dream11, the online fantasy gaming platform, as the primary jersey sponsor.
The substantial investment by Apollo Tyres underscores its commitment to sports and its confidence in the immense appeal of Indian cricket globally. This move comes at a crucial time, especially following the implementation of the Online Gaming Act in 2025, which has led to shifts in sponsorship landscapes within the sports industry.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finalized this lucrative agreement, ensuring robust financial backing for the national team. Fans can expect to see the Apollo Tyres logo prominently displayed on the Team India jerseys, symbolizing this new and exciting collaboration. This partnership is anticipated to bring fresh opportunities and further elevate the profile of Indian cricket on the international stage.
