Who is the owner of the IPL team RCB?

From buying players to forming the team, crores of rupees are spent on the coach and other staff. Let us tell you that the owners of IPL teams earn money from the sale of match tickets, sponsorship, and media rights. 

If media reports are to be believed, the owners get the money for about 80 percent of the tickets sold in IPL matches. For example, Narendra Modi Stadium has a seating capacity of 1.32 lakh people. Suppose about one lakh people bought tickets, and the average price of a ticket is Rs 3000, so tickets worth about Rs 30 crore were sold. 80 percent of Rs 30 crore, i.e., Rs 24 crore, goes to the team owners. Now, you must be wondering how RCB earned 2200 crores in one day. Let's know the complete account.
