“Over the next few months, will be putting ina STRONG and COMPETITIVE bid for @RCBTweets, one of the best teams in the IPL,” Poonawalla said on his official X account.
This official confirmation came after speculation began in September that he is one of the frontrunners to acquire the franchise after exiled former IPL chairman Lalit Modi tweeted about the possibility of Diageo India ~ RCB's current owners~deciding to put the franchise up for sale.
Among his other ventures, Poonawalla also owns a 50% stake in Dharma Productions worth ₹1000 crore. He was also appointed the chairman of Poonawalla Fincorp after acquiring a 66% stake in the financial services company.
