Shane Warne may not be playing in the Indian Premier League this year but the former skipper of the Rajasthan Royals is actively tweeting his support for the side.

The owners of the Rajasthan Royals have agreed to sell the majority of the IPL franchise to a Kolkata-based businessman for $200 million, ESPNcricinfo has learned.

Actress Shilpa Shetty, who is expecting her first child with husband Raj Kundra in May, is looking forward to cheer her Rajasthan Royals team in the new season of the Indian Premier League, though only with her doctor's permission.

They've braved expulsion, multiple court cases and, for one of them, a diminished salary cap just to participate in the 2011 IPL. Despite all those question marks, though, Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab wear their success literally on their sleeve.
