In recent days, social media has been buzzing with speculations suggesting that the current owners of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are considering selling the franchise. Reports even estimated RCB’s valuation at around $2 billion, with several potential buyers reportedly showing interest.

As these rumors gained momentum online, the matter eventually reached Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar. When questioned about whether he had any real interest in acquiring RCB, his response was both amusing and candid.

“I am not a mad man. I’ve been a member of the Karnataka Cricket Association since my younger days, that’s all. I don’t have the time, though I did receive offers to be part of the management. Why do I need RCB? I don’t even drink Royal Challenge,” DK Shivakumar remarked, firmly denying any involvement in the franchise’s potential sale.

His witty comment, particularly the reference to not drinking Royal Challenge (a popular liquor brand), has quickly gone viral, drawing light-hearted reactions across social media. Known for his sense of humor, Shivakumar’s playful dismissal of the rumors has added a comical twist to the ongoing speculation.
