Why will Warne’s family get Rs 450 crore?
Under the RR deal, the former Australian great was given 0.75 percent ownership stake for every year he played for the team. He represented RR in 4 seasons and hence his total stake in the ownership of the franchise increased to 3 percent. Now that the team has been sold for $1.63 billion, Warne’s share has increased to Rs 450 to 460 crore.
