Shah Rukh Khan to Preity Zinta: Celebrities who own IPL teams

Bollywood stars have jumped into cricket's big league by owning IPL teams, blending their on-screen charisma with off-field business smarts since the tournament's 2008 launch. Their passion fuels fan frenzy, from electrifying stadium cheers to strategic wins that mirror blockbuster hits. These celeb owners turn matches into spectacles, proving fame and fandom make unbeatable combos in cricket fever. Here, take look at the famous Bollywood actors who own IPL team.

Shah Rukh Khan teams up with industry friend actor Juhi Chawla to own Kolkata Knight Riders since IPL kicked off in 2008. His die-hard passion turned the team into champs three times—2012, 2014, and 2024. From match-side cheers to big decisions, SRK's energy fires up players in several matches on the feild. It's all about that "Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo" vibe, showing his sharp business side beyond the silver screen.

Juhi Chawla, mainly famous for her performance in ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’, shares Kolkata Knight Riders ownership with Shah Rukh Khan and her husband Jay Mehta. They snapped up the team back in 2008. She lights up events, chats with players, and helps players to win three IPLs. Running her own dairy and telecom gigs, she adds smart business flair. Her cheerful posts and stadium dances capture the pure joy of IPL fever.

One of the famous Bollywood actresses, Preity Zinta co-owns Punjab Kings with Dabur's Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia, and Karan Paul. Since 2008, her loud cheers and fan love make her the team's heartbeat, even without a trophy yet. She's right there at auctions and tough spots, blending her film producer hustle with Punjab pride. PBKS draws huge crowds worldwide, thanks to her lively spark in the bravo IPL scene.

Shilpa Shetty, who is also known for her fitness, jumped into Royal Challengers Bangalore ownership early with husband Raj Kundra and Vijay Mallya in 2008. They brought Bollywood buzz before selling shares in 2010 during money shakes-ups, leaving it to Diageo. Shilpa's fitness push matched RCB's vibe back then. No longer an owner, her wellness empire still echoes in the team's health focus.
