Description
Ready for a game changer in the American sports scene? Picture this: the cricket pitch meets the baseball diamond, all thanks to Major League Cricket (MLC). This episode is a power-play that unveils the ambitious game plan of MLC, a venture backed by a staggering $120 million funding. Hear how they're bringing the thrill of T20, a high-scoring, quick-paced cricket format, to the U.S. Plus, we'll revisit the adrenaline rush of the first-ever MLC match that bowled over thousands of fans. Drawing in the heavy hitters from both the tech and entertainment world, the cricket revolution in America is not to be missed. Satya Nadella, Shantanu Nureyan, and Bollywood's own Shah Rukh Khan are amongst the notable backers, with Khan investing a cool $30 million to build a cricket stadium in LA. We'll also discuss how USA Cricket has awarded MLC the exclusive license to run a professional T20 League, a watershed moment for the sport in the U.S. So, grab your helmets and pads, it's time to step onto the pitch and welcome cricket into the mainstream American sports culture.
