BOARD OF CRICKET CONTROL IN INDIAN – APPROXIMATELY 700 MILLION USD PER ANNUM.
It is no surprise for all of us as we all know that BCCI is the richest cricketing board in the world but at the pace which their domestic broadcasting revenue is rising it is astronising and mammoth. The Indian domestic matches rights for 5 years is with Star India network for 944 million usd and the amount for Indian premier league is 2.55 billion usd which is also paid by Star India network which is owned by disney.

The revenue of BCCI is more then the combine revenue of all the other five board member in this list which is shocking and amazing. As the years are passing the Indian cricket team value is increasing in many folds and it is unlikely to stop BCCI position in cricket unless and until there is a new sports popularity rises in india or The sudden rise of popularity of cricket in USA / CHINA can also impact the money power of BCCI.
