A recent ownership change has sparked speculation about the future of Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The Bengaluru-based franchise was acquired by a consortium led by the Aditya Birla Group in a deal valued at USD 1.78 billion (around ₹16,706 crore), the most expensive franchise sale in IPL history.
Amid the headlines, speculation around a potential name change began circulating, but Ananya Birla, a key public face of the Aditya Birla Group, has seemingly settled the debate.
She reshared a post on Instagram indicating that the franchise's name will remain unchanged, suggesting continuity in branding despite the ownership overhaul.
The acquisition covers both the men's and women's teams, and marks a significant moment in the IPL as RCB continues to grow in both commercial value and on-field success.
