Bengaluru: Many were bothered over Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) future after their owner Vijay Mallya fell into legal trouble over defaulting of loans. Mallya has stepped down from his post of the director of the Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited, which owns the RCB franchise in the IPL. The team intimated BCCI about this over an email.
BCCI official announced, “yes, we received an email communication from Russell Adams, who will now be the man in-charge of the RCB team. The e-mail stated that Dr Vijay Mallya has resigned from his post as Director of RCSPL and will only be an Honorary Chief Mentor till his son Siddhartha is in the Board of Directors.”
He will no longer be the boss of one of the most popular franchises in the cash-rich league. Mallya will just be the honorary chief mentor of this side.
Russell Adams will be the new man-in-charge of the team. Adams is the vice-president of Commercial Operations and Cricket Academy at RCB and from now he will be the point of contact for the Board.
