You perhaps need to search for which company (if any) has the viewing rights in the UK.

That appears to be ESPN via their Player app.

Securing the rights to 'all of india cricket' would presumably require significant expenditure, and Sky would either have to run a separate channel with its own subscription or increase the cost for all Sports subscribers.

By how much would you like your subscription to increase so that Sky could outbid Disney?

I do find the system of paying for what I'm not watching. Pay as you go tv might work better in these instances; given sky sky isnt covering the choice.

That's quite a strange comment. Sky did indeed have 'all of India cricket' until December 2022, when their rights expired. Not everything has to include a price increase... as a premium sports bouquet, it's a given that there will be continued investment in content without continual price increases to the customer. If using your logic, the sports pack would be far more expensive for the Premier League alone. 

The fact that Disney are showing it online doesn't mean they outbid Sky. Disney own the worldwide rights, just as they did when Sky had the UK contract up to last month. The coverage being on ESPN is evidently a last resort scenario due to one of numerous factors or it's a clear cut case of Disney wishing to keep the rights in-house (least likely scenario). Sky needing to outbid Disney not being one of them as Disney are the owning party.
