India's cricket board said Tuesday it has sold the broadcast rights of the IPL tournament for the next five seasons to global media giants for an eye-popping $6.2 billion.

The Indian Premier League ended with debutants Gujarat Titans hammering Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in front of almost 105,000 fans at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.

The high-octane Indian Premier League moves into the playoffs this week with four teams left to battle for the glitzy Twenty20 championship and the winners to be crowned in Sunday's final.

The IPL 2022 playoff fixtures will be held in Kolkata and Ahmedabad. The Narendra Modi Stadium (Motera) will stage the final match on May 29. The Board of Control for Cricket in Indian (BCCI) Apex Council decided on Saturday (April 23).
