Cricket is his favorite game. He was a fan of Sunil Gavaskar, later Sachin Tendulkar’s name was added to the list of favorite cricketers.
He wanted to be a cricketer until an age. But in the end, that dream did not come true, or did not walk the path of that dream. He chose another life.
Now he is the powerful boss of the corporate world, the chief executive of tech giant Google. His name is Sundararajan, the whole world knows him as Sundar Pichai.
Although he could not be a cricketer, Pichai’s love for cricket did not diminish one bit. It can be understood by looking at his posts on social media during the series of India’s no match. He has also been seen in the cricket field many times.
Pichai was present in the India-England match in the 2019 World Cup. The picture with Tendulkar went viral on social media.
So whether from that love of cricket, Pichai has been interested in buying a franchise in England’s The Hundred League. The US-based Bloomberg has claimed in a report that a group of Silicon Valley officials, including Pichai, want to buy a London-based franchise in The Hundred.
Apart from Pichai, the other members of the business alliance are Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Adobe’s Santani Narayan, Palo Alto’s Nikesh Arora and Times Internet’s Satyen Gajvani.
According to Bloomberg, the business alliance wants to buy the Oval Invincible or London Spirit franchise in The Hundred, and is also interested in investing $ 97 million. Oval Invincible is the current champion of the boys’ hundred, the champion of the women’s hundred is the London Spirit team.
The Hundred League has already become very popular in England and around the world. In these 100-ball matches, each team gets a chance to bat 20 overs, each over is 5 balls. The tournament, which started in 2021, has held four editions so far.
