Salman Khan Steps Up to the Crease as New Delhi’s ISPL Team Owner

Salman Khan is taking his love for cricket to a whole new level. The Bollywood star has become the owner of the New Delhi franchise in the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), and fans are already buzzing about what this means for the league.

 

Here’s what’s happening:

 

Salman was announced as the New Delhi team owner just as ISPL’s second season wrapped up. The league is growing fast, with more than 28 million viewers this season and a big jump in TV ratings.

 

ISPL is all about tennis-ball T10 cricket, giving street cricket players a shot at the spotlight. The league is backed by big names like Sachin Tendulkar, and other team owners include Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ram Charan, Suriya, and Saif Ali Khan with Kareena Kapoor Khan.

 

Salman said he’s excited to help promote grassroots cricket and wants to give young players more opportunities to shine.

 

With the New Delhi team, ISPL is hoping to attract even more fans and talent from the capital. The league’s mission is to turn local cricket heroes into professional stars.

 

Trials for the next season are already underway in over 100 cities, and more than 4 million players have registered so far. That’s a huge sign of how popular street cricket has become.

 

Fans are eager to see what Salman brings to the table and how his star power will help the league grow.
