The pursuit of new ownership for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) reached a major milestone on January 22, as billionaire pharma tycoon Adar Poonawalla announced his intent to acquire the franchise. The CEO of the Serum Institute of India confirmed on social media that he will be submitting a 'strong and competitive' bid in the coming months, marking a high-profile entry into the race for one of the world's most valuable sporting assets.The decision to sell follows a "strategic review" by the team’s current owner, United Spirits Ltd (Diageo), which recently declared the franchise a non-core asset to its primary alcohol and beverage business. This move comes at a high point for the team; RCB is the defending Indian Premier League (IPL) champion, having ended an 18-year wait for silverware by winning the 2025 title. The franchise's brand value has skyrocketed since the victory, with Diageo reportedly seeking a valuation in the region of $2 billion. #ipl2026 #adarpoonawalla #royalchallengersbangalore #rcb #ipl #viratkohli #cricket #sportstak #sportsnews Visit https://thesportstak.com for lightning-fast live scores, special updates, highlights, and specific statistics of players and teams.
