The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the defending champions of the IPL, have been off from the buzz while several teams make the rounds during the pre-season trade window ahead of the IPL mini-auction. The sole reason for this is that the team is currently up for an ownership switch.
The UK-based company Diageo is the parent company that owns the Royal Challengers Bengaluru; however, they declared that RCB was up for sale since they are not willing to continue with a brand that does not comply with the liquor brand.
Cricbuzz had then reported that Adar Poonawalla of Serum Institute and Parth Jindal of the JSW Group, Adani Group, Ravi Jaipuria, and two more US-based private equity firms have shown interest in buying RCB.
RCB currently has the highest brand value among IPL franchises
The TOI had sent an email and a message to both Pai and Kamath's teams, but there was no response from their end. They are both pretty local to the Karnataka-based franchise, as it would help them connect on a local level with the RCB crowd, as well as state political and social engagement.
Another Forbes report from 2022 suggested RCB to be valued at just over $1 billion; however, that was eight years ago, and they had not won a championship back then. A valuation report from Houlihan Lokey showed that IPL's business value has reached a whopping $18.5 billion, and its brand value went up to $3.9 billion in 2025. The RCB, among all franchises, is valued the most at $269 million.
Will the team management and players remain the same under the new RCB owners?
These changes were made to the WPL franchise RCB Women, and they did not account for any changes to the Men's team management, which comprises Dinesh Karthik, MO Bobat, and Andy Flower, among others.
