On the bedroom walls of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who grew up in Hyderabad, there were three posters that were probably never pasted together. Philosopher Karl Marx and the goddess of wealth Lakshmi were the cool hitter ML Jaishima, a longtime favorite cricketer among the game lovers. In an old interview, Nadella also talked about how she missed out on the fierce days of Sachin Tendulkar’s debut when she moved to the US in 1988.
Another US Digi Corporate Charle, Nikeshuarora of Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity company, recently found that he and his other Silicon Valley friends, most Fortune 1000 regulars with Indian roots woke up at 4am. We’ve explained how to watch the Premier League. They will also adjust to the test. At the height of the antitrust debate in 2021, Google CEO Sundar Pichai will find time to follow Rishabh Pant in Brisbane. “One of the biggest test series wins so far…” – he tweets.
It’s not just cricket, but also a longing for reunion with the passion of childhood in the baseball land that brings together most Indians. Last week, 11 Indian-American Cricket Romantics got the right to be called part owners of the Cricket House, London’s iconic Lord’s cricket ground. Over 200 years, the privilege of becoming a first private partner at Lord’s was priced at £144 million. It is converted to rupee, and the amount will water the Indian eye – 1,500 rupee.
The opportunity was created when the Cricket Board (ECB) of England and Wales decided to auction 49% of the eight teams playing “100.” Fiscal oxygen cylinder full.
This opened the door to several exclusive cricket clubs. Silicon Valley cricket enthusiasts probably didn’t miss this opportunity. It was a minority shareholder in the ownership of one tournament, with no rights or voice. It still seemed worth it.
This unusual opportunity saw a gathering of consortiums that could convey the company’s dream team. The group, known as Cricket Investor Holdings Limited, is led by Palo Alto’s Arora, with Pichai and Nadella as CEOs of Adobe and Silver Lake Management, Shantanu Narayen and Egon D. I have a urban. Also part of the consortium is Satiangajwani, Vice-Chairman of the Times Internet.
Put your own money
Take care, these are individual investments of well-known cricket enthusiasts without being involved in the institutions they work for. The names of other investors in the consortium have not yet been made public.

In addition to these American NRIs, we are enjoying this 100 season, as several other Indians enjoy ownership in their iconic English positions. Is this the beginning of the Indian acquisition of English games in the UK?
From the start, it was easy for those who threw silk hats and kitchen sinks at auctions to look at two clubs, the spirit of London and the invincible oval. They also had teams based in Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Southampton, Nottingham and Cardiff, but were unable to defeat Lord, Oval, London.
Silicon Valley’s deep pockets have swooped down the crown jewels for astronomical quantities, but the other London venue, the oval, will become the new home for the Mumbai Indians, the global cricket giant supported by the Reliance Industry. I did it.
It’s what’s called theft, and Miri paid half of what the Silicon Valley Consortium fired. At £60 million, about Rs 650, they have won an alliance between the London team, which has the most successful record of 100, and the county, which has a better balance sheet than the main team. Plus, there are much larger stadiums.

This was a “must buy” auction as MI aims to become a multi-team global franchise. And it was for Sanjeev Goenka, new owner of Super Ganz IPL in Lucknow. He fired around Rs 885 to be in Old Trafford as the majority owner of the Manchester original. Goenka won 70% as Lancashire became the first county to gain its own share.
The IPL Side Sunrisers Hyderabad will be the biggest splash. On Wednesday they became the first team to own 100% of the 100 side. They reportedly paid 1,100 rupees to the Yorkshire franchise Northern Superchargers. The Wales fire, a Cardiff franchise, also has former IBM employees with Indian investors and a magnet Sanjaygoville worth around Rs 437.
How not mad
Does this mean that the Lord’s new partner, the Silicon Valley investor, has gone overboard to branch out Rs 1,500? Have they been blinded by their passions and dreams of being part of an incredible heritage? Those who know say it’s stupid to question the spending of a group of business ticons known for their vision of the future.
“This is not a P&L (profit and loss) game. It’s all about valuation. This is a strategic investment. You put money in cricket, how can you miss it in the UK? All “Innovation has just begun,” the source says. But in a world ruled by the T20, have 100 people returned to the wrong horse? Mous remains classified, and dots that I and T have not yet crossed are thought to have nothing etched into stone in Grapevine.

“It can start as 100 people, but things can change anytime. It’s the most popular format, so one day it can become a T20 tournament. Investors pay a lot. , their voices will be important,” said the person who knows.
But yet another T20 league is worthy of a game changer or a hefty investment, with so many people all over the world? Even India’s T20 investments are not unique. Most IPL teams are part of the South African, the US and the Emirates league. Silicon Valley Big Wig also bankrolls major league cricket. So it’s not new.
The main reason why IPL is an indisputable global flagship limited franchise tournament is the presence of Indian megastars. So far, the BCCI has been strictly observing monopolies, but has not allowed players to venture into other leagues. Only after the players retired, they had the opportunity to play in other leagues that were not part of the IPL. WACKETKEEPER DINESH KARTHIK is the latest example of the Paarl Royals costume from Rajasthan Royals in SA20.
With few Indian top stars at the final stages of their international career, 100 Indian investors are seeing faint hope. “Now there are owners with a large amount of money, so Indian superstars can be pleaded to play in the UK. This league is in the offseason when there is a monsoon in India. There are also,” says a source before Nudge and Wink’s comments. “Virat Kohli has moved to London, right?”
