Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan have joined the league of Bollywood celebrities investing in sports by becoming team owners in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), following the footsteps of Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar.
After Amitabh's ownership of the Mumbai team in the inaugural edition and Akshay's association with the Srinagar team, Kareena and Saif revealed their ownership of the Kolkata team in the ISPL.
In an Instagram Reel, shared with Kareena's 11.4 million followers, the couple showcased young gully cricketers, emphasizing their love for cricket, which Kareena linked to her family's cricketing legacy, particularly her father-in-law, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the former captain of the Indian national cricket team.
Excited about their ownership, Kareena mentioned the fantastic opportunity the league presents for aspiring young cricketers and encouraged participation in ISPL by signing up at ispl-t10.com.
The announcement garnered attention, including a comment from Kareena's close friend and fashion designer Masaba Gupta, acknowledging their latest venture.
ISPL marks India's pioneering tennis ball T10 cricket tournament held within stadiums, featuring six teams—Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Srinagar—competing in 19 matches.
Apart from their sports venture, Kareena's upcoming films include 'The Crew' and 'Singham Again', adding to her busy schedule in both sports ownership and the film industry.
