IPL: When will Kal Somani-led consortium's Rajasthan Royal buy come into effect?

Newspoint
NEW DELHI: As IPL 2026 nears, a major off-field development has taken centre stage, with Rajasthan Royals , the champions of the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League ( IPL ), being acquired for a massive $1.63 billion by a consortium led by US-based entrepreneur Kal Somani.

Despite the scale of the deal, the ownership transition will only come into effect after the conclusion of the 2026 season, meaning the current structure will remain in place for now.
