The Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) recent IPL victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) on June 3, 2025, has been overshadowed by claims made by Lalit Modi, the former IPL commissioner. Modi suggests that the franchise might be up for sale. He stated that, despite past denials, the owners of RCB are considering selling the team. Modi highlighted the team’s recent IPL championship win, significant fan base, and strong management. He believes this opportunity presents an exceptional investment, possibly setting a new record valuation for an IPL franchise. The brand value of RCB has reached $269 million post their title win. Modi anticipates that the sale will attract interest from global funds. Citibank is expected to manage the auction.
