Cricket has seen a huge spike in popularity in recent years. Once the exclusive domain of the Indian diaspora, it has now started gaining momentum among other demographics. In 2015, retired cricket greats, including Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Brian Lara, and Sourav Ganguly took part in the Legends Exhibition matches in New York, Houston, and Los Angeles.
More recently, Shah Rukh Khan-co-owned Knight Riders Group picked up a significant stake in a franchise T20 tournament to be organised by Major League Cricket, expected to kick off in 2022. The Knight Riders Group owns the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and the Trinbago Knight Riders in Caribbean Premier League.
