The Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) is all set to return with a power-packed Season 3, following the phenomenal success of its second edition. In a thrilling update for fans, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been announced as the new team owner of the league’s upcoming New Delhi franchise.

With the addition of a New Delhi team and Salman Khan's participation, ISPL's quick ascent and growing cultural influence enter a new era. The league, which skilfully combines cricket with entertainment, keeps gaining popularity with every season.

With an incredible 28 million+ viewers and a 47% increase in TV ratings over its first season, Season 2 was a game-changer. This tremendous response has solidified the Indian Premier League's status as the country's largest music and sports event.

Backed by a powerhouse core committee featuring Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar, Asian Cricket Council member and Cabinet Minister Ashish Shelar, Minal Amol Kale, and Suraj Samat, ISPL has carved out a unique niche in India’s sporting landscape. The league aims to connect grassroots cricket talent with the professional stage, and in doing so, has created an electrifying platform for aspiring street cricket stars.

Along with Amitabh Bachchan (Majhi Mumbai), Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan (Tiigers of Kolkata), Akshay Kumar (Srinagar Ke Veer), Suriya (Chennai Singams), Hrithik Roshan (Bangalore Strikers), and Ram Charan (Falcon Risers Hyderabad), Salman Khan has joined the ISPL's exclusive group of celebrity team owners.

Combining cricket with high-energy musical performances, ISPL has redefined what sports entertainment can look like. The match-day atmosphere, marked by vibrant crowds and festive vibes, transformed each game into a cultural celebration. As Season 3 approaches, expectations are sky-high for an even more exhilarating experience.
