While India has an unmatched craze around cricket and is known for its fanfare worldwide, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup that took place between October 5 and November 19 across 10 cities in India, generated an incredible total economic impact of $1.39 billion or Rs 11,637 crore for the economy of India.
The World Cup created more than 48,000 full and part time jobs across both the event as well in other organisations, particularly in the hospitality sector, which contributed $18 million towards the economy, according to the report.
