00:00Siddharth Malia, the son of former RCB owner Vijay Malia, was overwhelmed with emotion
00:11as his beloved team finally won the IPL trophy after years of heartbreak.
00:26Even from afar, Vijay Malia couldn't contain his joy, taking to social media to congratulate
00:31the team he once owned.
00:33Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the team, synonymous with star-par and near-misses, was once the
00:37jewel in the crown of Vijay Malia's United Spirits empire.
00:41In 2008, Malia acquired the RCB franchisee for a staggering $111.6 million, making it
00:48one of the most expensive teams in the IPL.
00:51However, RCB's story took a dramatic turn when Vijay Malia faced legal trouble.
00:55In 2016, Vijay Malia fled to the UK amid allegations of financial fraud and money laundering, leaving
01:02behind debt exceeding 9,000 crores.
01:04His case had been a legal rollercoaster with India's extradition request tied up in British
01:09courts.
01:10The ownership of RCB also shifted hands.
01:12In 2014, Diageo, a global liquor giant, acquired United Spirits and took control of RCB.
01:18Malia's association with the team officially ended.
01:21Cut to 2025, fans haven't forgotten the Malia's.
01:26Social media buzzed with playful calls for Vijay Malia to come back to India.
01:29For Malia, despite multiple rulings in favour of his extradition, he has remained in the
01:34UK due to delays linked to undisclosed asylum requests.
01:38Whether he would return to India remained uncertain, but one thing was undeniable.
01:43RCB's win had once again put the spotlight on the man who built their brand.
01:47But the next week is very long.
