A Mixed Year for the IPL 2025
Despite the economic challenges of the year, this ranking reflects the franchises’ legacy with factors like loyal fan bases, sponsorship strength, and market visibility, and remains fruitful. MI, with its historical legacy, corporate support, and the massive fan following, still sits at the top of the table. Right behind it is RCB, boosted by relatively good on-field performances and brand uplifting.
On the other hand, CSK, a team that was once always occupying the pole position, has slipped down to the third position among the trio of top brands- a clear indication that the combination of on-field performance and market factors was the major determinant of brand value this season. Teams like KKR, GT, PBKS, etc., are live examples of fierce competition not just on the field but also in terms of brand equity and business sustainability.
