The Bangalore franchise is owned by Vijay Mallya.
He runs a beer company, and Royal Challenge is one of his beers.

Having your team named after a product is even more outrageous.

Why? It's his team, which he bought with his money (not yours) to sell his product & make money.

It's his money. He earnt it, he spent it, he can do what he likes with the team he owns. You'd make a pretty poor businessman.
This isn't test cricket, you gotta relax.

Will whinge about anything because its not Australian.
India's showing is dominance in cricket, and he's pretty peeved about it.
Ponting not going for a lot of money, he doesn't like the team names

No one who had respect for cricket would name a team after a commercial product. Of course he can do what he wants with his money, doesn't mean I have to agree with it or embrace it. I still think it's an absole farce.

In case you've written off Mumbai, remember, that team is owned by a tough businessman who knows when to play his cards. Mukesh Ambani knows where to spend his money, and has taken several decisions that have boosted his corporate empire over the years.
Delhi Pepsis? The finalised name is Daredevils.

What's next? Players having nicknames as commercials? Sure It'll be fine because they're getting paid idiotic amounts of money to do so, but it just doesn't seem right.
Oh what a shot by Ricky "Pizza Hut" Ponting! He's really on top of Shane "Durex Double Ribbed Condoms" Warne here.
