There have been a lot of rumor about the sale of an @IPL franchise specifically @Rcbtweets – Well in the past they have been denied. But it seems the owners have finally decided to take it off their balance sheet and sell it. I am sure having won the ipl last season and also pic.twitter.com/ECXFU5N5V5

Lalit Modi did this post
Poonawala’s comment came after a post made by the first IPL commissioner Lalit Modi. Those who said that at this time there can be no better investment than buying RCB. Lalit’s strong belief is that big global funds or any sovereign funds would like to make him a part of their investment strategy and India’s strategy. Lalit wrote on X that many rumors have been raised about the sale of IPL franchise, especially RC, – but earlier these rumors have been rejected. But it seems that the owners have finally decided to remove it and sell it from their balance sheet. I am sure that winning the IPL in the last season and with its strong fan base, team and a great management team, it can be the only team that will be fully available as IPL franchisee.
