It’s quite possible you have never owned a T20 team, but you are probably still fascinated by how that works. So I went and got an IPL owner to talk us through the entire thing. Manoj Badale owns the Rajasthan Royals, and so we talked about how you make a team from scratch, the logistics of running an organisation suspended for spot fixing, his moneyball fandom, why the team is trying to be the global IPL side and the future of the league.
