Amazon will be bidding for the broadcasting rights because they want to fix up their sports offerings for Amazon Prime and Sony is likely to bid with Zee Entertainment Enterprises. Meanwhile, Disney wants to retain the Indian Premier League broadcasting rights as it is important for them to strengthen its market share in India

The bids will be soon submitted to the BCCI and the board will announce the winner in the last week of March.
