If Kolkatta Knight Riders has Shah Rukh and Juhi Chawala to cheer them up  and Preity Zinta is always there lifting up the morale of Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals now have Shilpa Shetty.

Don't think that the winning team of the first season of India Premiere league has roped in Shilpa as a motivator.

She along with her boyfriend Raj Kundra are now the co-owners of Rajasthan Royals.

They have bought a 12 per cent stake in the team by investing $15.4 million.

London based Emerging Media Group had invested $67 million and bought the team sometime back.

Shilpa says that the idea to invest in the team was that of Raj who was very much impressed and inspired by the team's success journey.

The actress says "Whenever the team needs me I will pitch in. I will be the moral support of my team. The team needed an Indian owner and so I am here".

Shilpa also added that as her life story is just like the cricket team's trip from being an underdog to become the ultimate winner, she can completely relate with the team and is honoured to be part of Rajasthan Royals.
