I feel that the revenue point is no longer an incentive to the BCCI… having captured most of the revenue already, it’s simply used to pay for the use of cricket as a political tool domestically. Maybe that was the plan all along, but I doubt such a coherent strategy would have been implemented.
Possibly - but if it was simply about invoking these feelings, 2 matches were enough. They didn’t need to invent “Super Fours” to make them meet again 3rd time. But that’s just my read of the situation.
