Rajasthan Royals engaged in banter with them and asked them to show the verification tick for confirmation. “Kahi yeh wrong number toh nahi? (What if it’s a wrong number)," they wrote.

The Lucknow franchise was bought by RP Sanjiv Goenka Group (RPSG) last year for approximately ₹7000 crore (over 932 million USD). They have already appointed former Zimbabwe captain Andy Flower as the head coach, and former Indian batter Gautam Gambhir as their mentor.

In IPL 2016 and 2017, the RPSG group had owned the Rising Pune Supergiant team. They were successful in reaching the final of IPL 2017, after failing to make it to the playoffs in IPL 2016.
