NEW DELHI:The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking to pocket a cool ₹20 crore from gate money during the playoff games in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League. While the gate money during the group stage goes to the various franchises, the money collected from the last four games in the IPL goes to the board. The BCCI in its budget for the 2019 edition of the cash-rich league has calculated a ₹2 crore rise from the gate money than what they had collected in the 2018 edition as per documents accessed by IANS. In the 2018, the amount calculated as gate money was ₹18 crore. While Chennai will now host Qualifier 1 on May 7, Vizag will host the Eliminator and Qualifier 2.
