Kolkata Knight Riders started the initial seasons as the ‘minnows’ of IPL, consistently finishing on the wrong side of the league table. Kolkata Knight Riders: Brand Value $ 104 million (~ ₹ 740 crores) Credits kkr.com They paid as much as ₹ 17 crores to the Indian skipper last year, making him the highest paid cricketer in IPL of all time. One major reason may be the rise of Virat Kohli as arguably the best batsman in the world cricket at the moment. RCB gained $ 10 million in one year, jumping from $ 88 million in 2017 to $ 98 million in 2018.
However, that didn’t stop their brand value from burgeoning. The Virat Kohli-captained side did not have their best season in last year, managing to finish only 6th in the table. Tying with Chennai Super Kings is another south Indian side, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Royal Challengers Bangalore: Brand Value $ 98 million (~₹ 697 crores) Credits As a result of the 2018 IPL title, CSK brand value stands at $ 98 million. Although the debacle affected them financially, their on-pitch remained unaffected. The MS Dhoni-led side could have easily been at the top of the brand value table, had it not been for a 2-year suspension they suffered in 2016. CSK has been in the playoff stages every time they have competed in the competition, winning on three occasions besides being the runner-ups on four others. Chennai Super Kings: Brand Value $ 98 million (~₹ 697 crores) Credits TwitterĬhennai Super Kings (CSK) have arguably the best sides in the Indian Premier League, since its inception. Nonetheless, their stock has grown by 25% as compared to 2017, when their brand value stood at $56 million. Last season, the team went on to feature in the finals, only to lose by 8 wickets to a resurgent Chennai Super Kings side. After finishing in the play-off position in their debut season, Sunrisers went on to win the 2016 IPL title under the stewardship of David Warner. After all, they have been one of the most consistent sides around. It is a bit cruel that Sunrisers Hyderabad comes in at the fifth rank when it comes to brand valuation. Sunrisers Hyderabad: Brand Value $ 70 million (~ ₹ 498 crores) Credits With the future of the Rajasthan franchise up in the air for the moment, here are the top 5 most valuable franchises in Indian Premier League: #5.
The worth of the stake will, thus, heavily depend on the brand value the team governs, which is again based on several factors including the IPL success and fan following (which is again dependant on the players that play in it) among others.
