Serpico Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Its so funny people are hating bollywood owners when ghouls like Ambani, Mallya are the other owners. I would rather see Ranveer in some dumb costume in the stands than large failsons of some crony billionaire Link to comment

On the flip side reduces the stature of the league to have more such clowns as owners. There are some top corporates and bigwigs from sports industry interested. IPL is still a cricket league and people want to see cricket first, take out the cricket and put all the entertainment in the world it will wear down very fast. Not sure what your argument is? Are you a fan ? Then I can understand. kohli 1 Link to comment
Mariyam Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) 55 minutes ago, Lord said: they have 2000 crore? will only be minority shareholder The grapevine is that a bulge bracket Investment bank will put in the $, mostly lending it to a leading sports management company. Ranvir/Deepika will put it some in chump change (relatively speaking) and be the face of the franchise. Good developments overall. If an IB is keen in it, I'm sure they'd have done their due diligence and expect a good revenue generating enterprise. If this works out, it's actually good news for Indian cricket.

I would rather have an investor with a vision than someone who throws money around. that argument can be used tor anyone with money. Would you be ok with a reformed mafia Don investing money. The argument is still the same that he is creating jobs. not everyone has to care about cricket to invest but big conglomerates have a vision. They want to grow their brand, innovate etc. These Bollywood folk see it as another vehicle to plug their content. SRK I think always was a articulate sports fan and I have no problem with him owning a team . Shilpa was only a trophy wife and Preiry adds nothing even though I do respect her passion. I think that’s enough for my tolerance. Make then mascots and cheer for teams but don’t put business in their hands Link to comment

Elon Musk isn't buying lol it'll be some Adani Badani with cement factories and coal mines. Bollywood clowns will easily add more fun and flair to the league in comparison I'm not a fan, I watch 2 or 3 Hindi movies per year Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Like Preity Zinta, they will be the beautiful upholstery on a luxury car . Not that there’s anything wrong about it. Ek brand ke liye , ek thopde ki zaroorat hoti hain. Mariyam 1 Link to comment

Are you a fan ? Then I can understand. Let me answer that for you. Ranvir and Deepika will attract a lot of eyeballs and followers to the league. People who don't watch cricket otherwise. Heck, I started watching cricket coz of the IPL. There is a huge demography that has yet to be tapped in. And a marquee owner makes that easy. Also it's easy for a franchise to get brand/title sponsorship if these two are the faces they can use. Also, why is Deepika a clown? Cricspin 1 Link to comment

Bollywood clowns will easily add more fun and flair to the league in comparison I'm not a fan, I watch 2 or 3 Hindi movies per year Have you seen any of the events featuring Bollywood stars at least in the last decade or so? Also the guys who run coal and cement suits like Srini Mama,Anand Mahindra,Tata have been patrons of Indian sports even before IPl. Tax breaks or whatever the reason they were always heavily involved and have only done a lot for Indian sports and sportsmen. May be you age entertained by men dressing up like women, cracking a Pj that is followed by a Tabla sound out of tune to indicate I should laugh. No thanks. Give me good cricket, great broadcasting, come up with innovations, bring exciting talent. That’s what I tune into see and that’s what keeps IPL alive. If you want to turn IpL into Kapil Sharma show then maybe it will be fun for a while for you but trust me it will wear off very fast. nevada and AuxiliA 2 Link to comment
