The team is owned by the Deccan Chronicle corporation. Gayatri Reddy, daughter of media baron T Venkattaram Reddy, heads the workings of the team and is very impressive at her job.

Another team owner that needs no introduction is liquor baron Vijay Mallya. He placed the second highest bid at the IPL auction, next only to Mukesh Ambani.
