I highly doubt it due to the changing landscape of the modern society and economics inflation. Who knows, they would be also forced to do some kind of things like star for the sake of new generation.

That's the legacy of Sony. Despite some criticism from some people due to their glamorous things and entertainment on their shows, the way Sony handled the ipl is so unique, special and memorable one.

Some People straightly jumps into this and conclude it's just about your nostalgia something like that. But trust me, I was already a well matured grown man during 2017 when Sony was broadcasted it for the last time. So one should understand that it's not always about nostalgia or childhood.

Extraaa Innings T20 show has the perfect balance of match analysis and entertainment. Cheerleaders inside the studio, drums player, energetic and unbiased anchors with funny humors, limited ex cricketers with enough analysis, goated theme songs and match promos, authentic and colorful sets, anchors roaming around the city to explore places, foods and also allowed to interact with players and people on the ground and the list goes on.

Now what you get from the star? Same sets and heavily green screen vfx sets, biased anchors and full of ex cricketers (some toxic ones as well) on the sets to always discuss about the numbers and serious game plans which makes the normal people move right away from these shows, mostly below average or worst theme songs except few ones and also sometimes no theme songs at all, standard match promos, repeating old interviews and show videos from social media of the players and teams (of course the cringe ones) instead of making originals.

Except some color shade changes here and there, their show graphics basically remains the same for bcci home matches, ipl and icc as well. They treated the ipl like an another usual tournament.

But on the other hand, Sony was treated it like a festival with more colorful entertainment in literally on each and every department to make the people keep engaged with their shows which can't be recreated and matched by anyone in the future as well.

In detail, that media rights tender conducted in the closed bid process and Sony bids higher for the tv rights than the star and star bids higher for the ott rights but everything for the Indian subcontinent regions.

In the end, star eventually won the rights as whole package due to their higher bid on the global rights. Then the fall of Sony sports started especially in the cricket.
