Luck can change anytime in the game of cricket. The player who does not get a chance for many years, sometimes makes a record as soon as he arrives.

Never even debuted in IPL, now became team owner

But Aryaman becoming the chairman of RCB is also special because a few years ago he himself was a part of IPL as a cricketer. Yes, before entering his family's business, Aryaman was a cricketer and had played in Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy for Madhya Pradesh. Here he scored 450 runs in a total of 13 matches. During this time, he was bought by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL auction in 2018 by bidding Rs 30 lakh. This was the first time when he entered the IPL. He was only 20 years old at that time but he did not get a chance to play even a single match in the entire season and his dream of playing in this league remained unfulfilled.

One year later i.e. in 2019, he played his last match in domestic cricket and then soon joined his father in the family business. Then hardly anyone would have thought that after 8 years the same Aryaman Birla would become the owner of the most expensive team of IPL. Coincidentally, he was declared the chairman of RCB on the same day when the sale of Rajasthan Royals was also announced. Royals were bought by an American consortium for Rs 15,300 crore and within a short time the consortium of Birla Group bought RCB, beating the price of Royals.
