Abhishek Bachchan recently shared insights into his decision to refrain from investing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), despite the presence of several Bollywood celebrities as team owners. He cited the significant cost as a major factor during the league's inception, stating that it was beyond his budget as a budding actor.
Additionally, he expressed uncertainty about how he could contribute to the sport at that time, emphasizing that he is not someone who simply sits in the stands and waves. Instead, he highlighted his hands-on approach to sports ownership, emphasizing his deep involvement with the teams he manages.
Although he acknowledged his limited familiarity with cricket in the past, he expressed openness to potential future opportunities in the sport. Notably, Abhishek later ventured into sports ownership with successful teams such as the Jaipur Pink Panthers and Chennaiyin FC.
