The Indian Premier League was started in the year 2008 and till now a total of 7 different teams have won the IPL title. But Royal Challengers Bangalore could not win the trophy despite reaching the finals thrice. If we talk about franchise owners, Preity Zinta and Shahrukh Khan are seen supporting their respective teams, but who is the owner of RCB?
Who is the owner of RCB?
The RCB team is owned by a company called United Spirits Limited. It is the largest liquor manufacturing company in India and the second largest liquor manufacturing company in the world. United Spirits Limited (USL) is headquartered in Bengaluru. Presently the Chairman of USL is Mahendra Kumar Sharma and the Executive Director of the company is Pradeep Jain. Till a few years ago, Vijay Mallya was the owner of RCB, but in 2016 he was found guilty in a bank fraud case, after which the ownership rights of RCB were taken away from him.
What is the net worth of RCB?
According to some media reports, the net worth of Royal Challengers Bangalore is around Rs 585 crore. Although the Bengaluru team has not been able to win the IPL title yet, but due to the presence of big players, the brand value of the team is much higher than many other teams. Due to the huge fan base, many big companies are also sponsoring RCB.
Who will RCB retain in IPL 2025?
All 10 IPL teams will have to submit their retention lists to BCCI by 5 pm on October 31. According to the current update, Royal Challengers Bangalore can retain only Virat Kohli. Another name of fast bowler Mohammad Siraj can be added to this list, but there is no clear update on this topic. If Virat is retained then definitely the Bengaluru team will change completely this time.
