‘I am not someone who is happy sitting in the stands and waving’: Abhishek Bachchan reveals why he never bought an IPL team

What Happened

Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who owns kabaddi and football teams, has not invested in an IPL franchise. He told Forbes the primary reason was cost—IPL teams were expensive when the league started in 2008 and his acting career was still developing. Additionally, Bachchan questioned what value he could contribute to cricket, stating he prefers hands-on team management rather than passive ownership.
