The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most popular T20 cricket tournaments in the world, attracting millions of fans. One of the most talked-about franchises is Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), a team that has gained immense popularity despite not winning an IPL title. RCB, led by Rajat Patidar in the IPL 2025 season, remains a strong contender with star players like Virat Kohli, Liam Livingstone, and Phil Salt.
The franchise is among the richest in the league, owned by United Spirits Limited (USL), a subsidiary of Diageo Group, a global leader in the alcohol industry. USL, led by Chairman Prathmesh Mishra, is also the parent company of United Spirits, which has a strong financial portfolio.
RCB’s brand value has seen tremendous growth, with a brand worth of $117 million (approximately Rs 1,013 crore) as of IPL 2025. The team’s massive fan following, strong digital presence, and strategic commercial deals have contributed to this significant increase.
Despite not having won an IPL title, RCB remains one of the most influential franchises in the league, with a strong squad and a passionate fan base. With Prathmesh Mishra as the Chairman, RCB continues to grow in brand value and market influence.
The team’s performance in IPL history has been impressive, with three finals appearances and multiple playoff appearances. While they have not won the title yet, RCB is a strong contender in the league, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if this will be the year they finally win their first IPL title.
