Each of the last 8 days - from Sat Jun 19 to Sat Jun 26 - were all time best days of week for vaccinations, with 26th overtaking the perf on 18th. The past week dominates the list of best ever single days for vaccinations:

June Week 4 was by a long distance the best ever week, with almost 45 million vaccinations done, exceeding the populations of many countries:

The extrapolated dynamic production rate computed from consumption accelerated from just under 120m/month prior week to 224m/month from this week’s data. If this momentum keeps up, 6-7million/day can be sustained.

Ourworldindata is a couple of days behind, but India overtook EU and North America in number of people with at least one vaccine dose, due to the sharp acceleration this week.
5/
India also overtook combined Americas and all of Europe in the rate of daily vaccinations as a 7DMA this week, crossing 6 million a day, much more than the peak performance in Europe, home to most major vaccine companies:

This week was the week many of us have been waiting for, reporting outstanding numbers day after day. Now the task is to sustain and accelerate from here. June and July were always meant to be a period of acceleration, and it’s clearly happening now.

The IPL is also far more lucrative in revenue per game, despite the fact that with a mere 74 games, it’s in the bottom 5 of sports leagues by number of games played per season.
Each of those games is a money spinner. Let’s look at how much.
2/
In terms of total revenue, the IPL ranks a reasonable 13th position among global leagues, despite having so few games in a single season.
There are only three countries on the planet with $1 trillion+ exports - China, USA and Germany. Even Japan is around $850-900B in FY 2021.
India jumped ~10 ranking places to provisionally #8 this year. Positions 4-7 are Japan, UK, France and Netherlands - all $700-900B.
India began 1949 the 9th biggest exporter.
It left the top 10 by end of that year.
It left the top 20 in 1957.
It reentered the top 20 in 2010, but didn't rise further until 2017-18 when it was 18th ranked. 2021-22 saw a big jump to 8th position.
Today was a day of symmetry as the vaccination total hit 175 crore (1.75 billion), exactly on day 400 since start of vaccination. This corresponds to an average of almost 4.4 million vaccinations a day, over four hundred days.
The monthly total to date is now almost 88 million. February should easily cross 100 million and will likely finish at around 125 million. This is expected as it is predominantly second dose + boosters. March will be much higher as the 12+ group becomes eligible.

With even the second dose numbers not very high now, the daily average over the past week was just 4 million - multiple days towards the end of week being around 3.98 million, and thus still in the 3.x bucket.
So how do you fix sampling error ? You get a small number of people to agree - keeping pop standard deviation down because sample size is tiny.
Disagreement is a problem - if you get half of them to disagree, your sampling error is 20-45% depending on sample size. Oops.

So let us pretend these experts indeed know what they’re doing. Let us look at the data. This author has the entire VDem dataset, analyzed in detail together with @jai_menon :
