Vijay Mallya today unveiled the Bangalore Royal Challengers late last night in a big bash style. The Indian version of Richard Branson as fondly referred to said he was very pleased to be associated with the Indian Premier League and has big plans for his team.

This is not Vijay Mallya's first dip into sports. The UB Group headed by Mallya has been involved in many sports like football, formula-1 and even tennis.

The Bangalore Royal Challengers take on Sourav Ganguly's Kolkatta side on the 18th of April.
