The stock was trading at Rs 110-120 in the week of IPL 2021 Finals but currently is trading Rs 210-225 price-band. The CSK stock price has soared more than 2,000 percent in just three years, from the level of Rs 12-15 in November 2018.

“Brand CSK will outgrow Brand India Cements. If you look at the history of franchise-based leagues in the US, it will outgrow everything. Passion for cricket is so much in India. The road between countries will see franchise-based leagues getting the precedence as we go along.” N Srinivasan, the Managing director of India Cements was quoted by a media outlet recently.
