Indian Premier League
Numbers
What the show said, with receipts
Every figure the hosts put on the record for Indian Premier League, with its source and the date it was captured. Indian Premier League does not file public audited statements, so these are the numbers on record.

Freshness is measured from each figure’s capture date, not from the episode date. An older figure is not wrong; it is a figure that has had time to move.
