RCB dethrones CSK to become IPL's most valuable franchise at $269 million

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians moved up to the second spot ($242 million) from the fourth position they earlier occupied

The Challengers have beaten the Kings – first on the field and now in the valuation game. After their maiden victory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) just about a month ago, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have ousted Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to become the most valuable IPL franchisee at $269 million.
