In a major boost to India’s newest cricketing phenomenon, Salman Khan has officially announced his association with the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) as the team owner for the upcoming New Delhi franchise. Taking to social media, the Bollywood superstar shared his enthusiasm for the league’s grassroots-driven spirit, writing: “Excited to begin this street to stadium cricket journey with ISPL.”
He tagged the post with hashtags like #Street2Stadium, #ISPLT10, and #ZindagiBadalLo, signaling the league’s larger mission of transforming lives through sport.
The ISPL, known for its high-octane tennis-ball T10 format, is India’s first structured league that brings street cricket to stadiums, offering raw talent a chance to shine on a national stage. Backed by an influential core committee featuring Sachin Tendulkar, Ashish Shelar, Minal Amol Kale, and Suraj Samat, the league has already built a reputation for discovering and nurturing hidden cricketing gems from India’s gullies and bylanes.
The addition of a New Delhi franchise, led by Salman Khan, marks a strategic expansion for Season 3, building on the league’s rapid rise in popularity. Khan’s involvement not only adds star power but also reinforces ISPL’s appeal across a broader, entertainment-driven audience, aligning perfectly with the league’s mission to blend cricket, community, and culture.
With growing fanfare, celebrity backing, and a mission rooted in opportunity and inclusion, ISPL is redefining Indian cricket—not through legacy formats, but through the raw energy of its streets. Season 3 promises to be the most exciting yet, and with Salman Khan now in the mix, the stakes—and the buzz—just got a whole lot higher.
