Entertainment News | ISPL: Saif Ali Khan Opens Up on His Love for Cricket and 'City of Joy' Kolkata

25 February, 2024

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 25 (ANI): Actor Saif Ali Khan, who is also the co-owner of Tigers of Kolkata along with his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan - a team in Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) shared why he is so close to the game of cricket and 'City of Joy' Kolkata.

During a press conference in Mumbai, Saif Ali Khan said, "I am excited. It's a superb way to build technique from the ground up. When we used to field also, we were told, and my father used to say, that if you learn how to catch with a tennis ball, it's the proper way, because otherwise, the ball will bounce out of your hand unless you learn how to catch properly. So everybody starts with tennis ball cricket. 
The idea is, in such a massive country with such a large population, to allow discovery by getting down onto the street level and giving people a platform and a talent to play cricket like this. I think it's a great thing."
