Mallya backed the IPL from its inception

Both of them have appeared on influencer Raj Shamani's podcast in separate episodes. Following the interview of Mallya in the podcast, Modi appreciated the former Kingfisher Airlines and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) chief for “believing in his dreams” and supporting the IPL from its inception.

"He was the first person to support me making the #IPL blindly. Also was its biggest sponsor and has since day one been its most loyal ardent fan and followers. For which I will always be grateful,” Modi said in a post on X in June.

Backing the idea of IPL by Mallya, the former Indian Premier League (IPL) chief praised him for being the first to back the IPL when it was still just an idea. “How did my good friend Vijay Mallya buy Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL I created? Hear from the man himself. He was the first person to support me blindly. He was also the league’s biggest sponsor and has, since day one, been its most loyal, ardent fan and follower. For which I will always be grateful," he wrote on X.

In response, Mallya said in his post, “Thank you Lalit."
