Bollywood celebrity and one of the most loved actors in the Indian film industry, Sanjay Dutt, has acquired a stake in another team in the fastest cricket league, the Zim Afro T10 cricket league, which is going to happen in Zimbabwe from July 20 and will conclude on July 29 with a grand final. This is the first franchise cricket league that is going to happen in Zimbabwe, and with some Indian celebrities getting stakes in some of the teams, there are chances that the league will get viewership like the cash-rich IPL gets. Sanjay Dutt will be the co-owner of the Harare Hurricanes team; the other co-owner of the team is Sohan Roy, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Aries Group of Companies.
This Zim Afro T10 cricket league will feature four teams: the Durban Qalandars, Cape Town Samp Army, Bulawayo Braves, and the Joburg Lions. The five teams would be competing to win the inaugural title. Sanjay Dutt already has a team to his name; Lahore Qalandars, a team in the Pakistan Super League, was the first team he bought to his name, and now he has added another one to his business portfolio. When asked about co-purchasing another cricket team, he said
“Cricket is like a religion in India, and as one of the biggest nations in the sport, I feel it is our duty to take the game to every corner of the world. Zimbabwe has a rich history in the sport and to associate with that and help fans have a great time is something that truly gives me joy. I am looking forward to the Harare Hurricanes doing really well at the Zim Afro T10.”
Sanjay Dutt said
The co-owner of the Harare Hurricanes shared his feelings after co-purchasing the team.
“I am delighted to work with Sanjay Dutt as we make our team the Harare Hurricanes at the Zim Afro T10. It is the most entertaining and enterprising format in the sport and this association is a chance to realise a childhood dream. May the best team win at the Zim Afro T10,”
Sohan Roy said
