The Ganguly-Durjoy Trophy, established in 2017, has quickly become a significant event in the cricketing calendar, especially for India and Bangladesh. Initially, the series was seen as a steppingstone for Bangladesh cricket, but it has since evolved into a culturally and politically charged competition. The series has seen notable shifts in sponsorship, with large Indian and Bangladeshi corporations competing for visibility, reflecting the growing commercial interest in the rivalry. For example, in the 2019 series, major Indian brands like Reliance and Tata Motors prominently featured as sponsors, while Bangladeshi firms increased their presence through sponsorship deals, emphasizing the series' importance to both nations.

Television broadcast rights have also been a key factor, with the series gaining prime-time slots on major networks like Star Sports, ensuring wide viewership and high advertising revenues. The legal aspects of the series have remained smooth, largely due to the strong cricketing relations between the two countries. However, there have been discussions around the inclusion of more gender-inclusive initiatives, like promoting women's cricket during the series. This discussion gained momentum after the 2022 series, where there was significant attention given to the women's cricket teams of both countries in parallel events, reflecting a broader push for gender equality in sports across South Asia.

These past editions have also seen fluctuating crowd attendance, with Indian venues often packed to capacity, while Bangladeshi crowds have shown similar enthusiasm when hosting. The crowd dynamics have often been influenced by social and political climates, with the matches serving as a platform for soft diplomacy. The 2017 series, for instance, was seen as a gesture of goodwill from India towards Bangladesh, reinforcing their shared cricketing and cultural ties.
