Bollywood Stars at the ISPL Auction

Salman Khan

Soon to be seen in Battle of Galwan, Salman Khan arrived wearing a green shirt paired with denim. He is not only the owner of the Delhi team but also the brand ambassador of the league.
One of the most interesting moments was when a robot climbed onto the stage, and Salman greeted it while playfully patting its head.

During his interaction with the media, a reporter asked, “Sir, how will you motivate your team?”
Salman responded, “My team is already motivated.”
When questioned whether he would bring new talent into the ISPL, he joked, “Like I brought into the film industry… hopefully things don’t turn out the same.”

Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar appeared in a white shirt paired with a black coat. He is the co-owner of the Srinagar team.Speaking at the event, he said that those who once played cricket on the streets now have the opportunity to play in stadiums and earn from it — and he hopes this opportunity continues.

Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan attended the event in a white T-shirt, denim and a cream blazer. He and his wife Kareena Kapoor own the ‘Tigers of Kolkata’ team.
Sharing his thoughts, Saif said: “The connection between cricket and Bollywood is very old. My mother is from Kolkata and my father was a cricketer, so both the city and the game are personal to me. Every great journey begins with gully cricket, and tennis-ball cricket brings out real talent.”

Team representative Aksha Camboj added, “Our philosophy is—One team, one passion! Winning or losing is part of the game, but giving 100% is what truly matters. ISPL is a platform for shining real talent, and these players are lucky to receive this opportunity.”
