    Modi-Mallya's IPL Ties

    The IPL was launched in 2008 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the leadership of Lalit Modi, who served as its first chairman.

    Designed as a franchise-based Twenty20 cricket league, the IPL brought together city-based teams, star international and domestic players, and high-stakes player auctions, creating a unique mix of sport and entertainment.

    Its first season featured eight teams and captured the imagination of cricket fans worldwide. Over the years, the IPL has grown into one of the most-watched and commercially successful cricket leagues, transforming global cricket and providing a platform for emerging talent.

    RCB, one of the original eight IPL franchises, was initially owned by Vijay Mallya, and was under his ownership until 2016. They are currently the defending champions, having won their maiden title in 2025.
