The figures show that Rajasthan Royals are going to become the most valuable franchise in IPL history. According to current reports, an owner has shown interest in buying the Rajasthan team for Rs 11,956 crore. According to Bloomberg’s report, Kal Somani, who has already invested in the Rajasthan team, has made such an offer to buy Rajasthan. Three others have expressed interest in buying the Rajasthan team.
Whoever buys it, it will be a record amount never seen in IPL. Gujarat Tetans is the team that has paid the highest amount among the IPL teams in the past. 5625 crore was invested for the team in 2022. RP Sanjeev Goenke Group broke the record by acquiring Lucknow Super Giants for 7090 crores in the same year. Rajasthan’s move is to overcome this too.

It should be mentioned that even in the absence of Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan team is getting a lot of importance. Rajasthan Royals are the first champions of IPL. But Rajasthan has not reached the cup even once after this. A notable achievement was playing the final once under Sanju.
Rajasthan needs a new captain this time. One of the likes of Yaswasi Jaiswal and Rian Parag is likely to fill the void left by Sanju Samson. This time, Rajasthan has managed to produce the best star line-up through the mini star auction. Coach Kumar Sangakkara has also returned to Rajasthan.

It is a matter of pride for Rajasthan to be able to get a play-off ticket even if they are not able to cheat this time. This time, the team is also considering shifting its home ground from Jaipur to Rajasthan. There have been reports for some time now that RCB is also looking for a new owner.

It would cost more than Rajasthan to buy the reigning IPL champions RCB. Anyway, let’s wait and see if Rajasthan and RCB get new owners before the coming season.
