Real or Fake? Is Anushka Sharma investing ₹400 crore to buy RCB?

There have been various reports in media which claimed that Anushka Sharma is buying a stake in Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Speculation around ownership and investments in Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is nothing new recently, especially when the team enjoys on-field success along with its popularity. The RCB, one of the most followed teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has once again found themselves at the centre of ownership chatter — this time involving a major Bollywood name.

Over the past few days, social media platforms and fan pages have been abuzz with claims linking Anushka Sharma to RCB in a possible business capacity. As expected, the crossover of Bollywood glamour and IPL stardom has only amplified curiosity.

Social Media Buzz Sparks Claims of Anushka Sharma’s ₹400 Crore RCB Investment

RCB were put up for sale soon after their IPL 2025 win, their first title in 18 years. The RCB owners were keen to cash in on the franchise’s massive fan following and the sharp rise in valuation following the team’s maiden title wins in both the men’s and women’s competitions.

Social Media claims began circulating that Anushka Sharma is set to purchase a 3 per cent stake in RCB, reportedly worth around ₹400 crore. This is the central assertion driving the online frenzy. Yet, despite the widespread discussion, no official confirmation has emerged from Anushka Sharma, RCB, or the franchise’s ownership group.

As things stand, the reports of Anushka Sharma buying a stake in RCB remain unverified. But this speculation got traction largely due to the franchise’s massive fan base and Sharma’s long-standing association with the team through Virat Kohli.

Industry observers have also urged caution, pointing out that the reported valuation figure lacks substantiated backing. No regulatory disclosures, verified media reports, or official statements support the claim, making it difficult to treat the information as credible at this stage.

Until an official announcement is made or reliable sources confirm the development, the story should be viewed as speculation rather than fact. For now, the buzz reflects RCB’s growing market appeal more than any confirmed ownership change — a reminder of how quickly rumours can gain momentum in the IPL ecosystem.

What is the reported valuation of the alleged RCB stake?

The figure being circulated is around ₹400 crore for a minor stake in RCB.

What stake is Anushka Sharma reportedly linked with in RCB?

Rumours suggest a possible 3% stake in the defending champions.

Is Anushka Sharma buying a stake in Royal Challengers Bengaluru?
