How Big is Knight Riders Sports Private Limited?
Owned by Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, the cricket franchise recently acquired a team in Abu Dhabi.
In 2008, when the Indian Premier League was created, Bollywood stars Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, along with her husband Jay Mehta, established the team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Over the years, the team has been turned into one of the biggest sports franchises in the world.
While we do not know the exact net worth of the group, in the following paragraphs, we have drafted the rumoured net worth of the teams under the Knight Riders’ group and the investments the group has made recently.
A new team in Abu Dhabi
On 13 May 2022, the Kolkata Knight Riders group acquired the rights to operate a brand-new team in the UAE’s T20 league. In the seasons to come, the league will feature a new team named Abu Dhabi Knight Riders that will generate tons of revenues for the group. At the moment, the official figure of the investment has not been disclosed, but it is undoubtedly in millions.
Million dollars investment in MLC
A month ago, the Indian sports franchise also pledged to invest millions of dollars in the Major League Cricket (MLC), an upcoming domestic cricket league in the United States of America. The KKR group will operate from Los Angeles, where the group will construct a world-class cricket stadium and will also have a team of their own (likely to be named Los Angeles Knight Riders).
Trinbago Knight Riders
In 2015, the group led by Bollywood stars invested in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) by purchasing the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel team. The team was rebranded into Trinbago Knight Riders that won the CPL four times. As per networthspot, the net worth of the CPL-based cricket team is 100 thousand dollars.
Kolkata Knight Riders
A few months ago, renowned American magazine Forbes published the valuation of every IPL team. As per their list, the valuation of the Kolkata Knight Riders is 1.1 billion dollars, and it is the third most valuable team in the Indian Premier League. If the Indian-based team itself is valued at 1.1 billion dollars, in our opinion, the group’s total valuation could be anywhere between 1.5 billion dollars and 2.5 billion dollars.
Last but not the least, the group is likely to purchase a team in England.
