The second season of SA20, South Africa's premier franchise T20 tournament has kicked off on January 10, 2024. The tremendous success of the first means there will be eyeballs aplenty on this edition, with six teams vying for glory.

But, don't the franchise names sound similar to those of their Indian Premier League (IPL) counterparts?
While Durban Super Giants closely hinge on Lucknow Super Super Giants, Jo Burg Super Kings is almost similar to Chennai Super Kings. Are all the SA20 franchises owned by Indians? Let us find out.
Do Indians own all franchises in SA20?
Indeed all six teams in South Africa's T20 league have been acquired by owners of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises.
CSK, through its parent company Chennai Super Kings Sports Limited, made the highest bid at an informal auction and acquired the Johannesburg franchise.
Owned by Reliance Industries, Mumbai Indians secured the Cape Town franchise. Whereas, The Sun TV Group, owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad, successfully bid for the Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth) franchise.
The RP Sanjeev Goenka group, known for acquiring the Lucknow IPL franchise last year, picked up the Durban team. Rajasthan Royals owners purchased Paarl Royals. Meanwhile, one of the owners of Delhi Capitals, Parth Jindal's Jindal South West Sports, secured the Pretoria franchise, which is known as Pretoria Capitals.
It was Cricket South Africa's (CSA) third attempt to establish a sustainable franchise-based T20 league.
The move followed the failure of the Global League T20 in 2017 and the scrapping of the Mzansi Super League due to broadcast rights challenges.
In 2022, CSA prioritized the new T20 league and even forfeited a three-match ODI series in Australia, risking direct qualification for the 2023 ODI World Cup to accommodate the tournament in the calendar.
