As per reports, the ECB is looking for investments from the IPL owners in the Hundred. Already, IPL owners have invested in South Africa, the USA and even Dubai. Interestingly, the popular franchise RCB is yet to have a franchise outside India. They currently have RCB and the Women’s RCB Team. However, considering RCB’s parent owners Diageo are from England, it would not be a surprise if they show interest in the Hundred. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two teams RCB should invest in if the owners are interested in the Hundred.
1) London Spirit
The headquarters of Diageo Group is in London. Also, London is the most popular city in England. Considering RCB’s popularity and the reach that they expect, it is ideal that they would invest in a team based out of the capital of England. However, it needs to be noted that there are plenty of other owners who will also want to spend more for this franchise.
London is home to many iconic stadiums. RCB’s lead player is Virat Kohli. He is popular across the globe. It is fitting that the franchise he represents has an investment in London.
2) Manchester Originals
Manchester Originals is one of the teams RCB should invest in if the owners are interested in the Hundred. For many in India, Manchester was popular because of the highly popular club Manchester United. The colour red is synonymous with Manchester. Of course, in recent years, Manchester City’s blue is also getting popular in the city.
In the IPL, RCB’s major colour is red. Right from the start of IPL, RCB has had red on its jersey in one way or the other. Considering the connect of the colour red with Manchester, it would be a good idea for RCB to invest in Manchester Originals.
