Cricket, Bollywood, and esports collide as Suniel Shetty officially steps into the e-cricket arena!
The iconic actor, entrepreneur, and sports enthusiast has joined the Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) as the owner of the Pune franchise in its blockbuster second season, kicking off in Bengaluru from April 27 to May 2.
Shetty’s passion for cricket is no secret — and now, he’s channeling that love into the digital future of the sport. Adding a personal touch to his cricket connection, Shetty is also father-in-law to Indian cricketer KL Rahul — making cricket a true family affair. His association with GEPL not only adds star power to the league but also reinforces its mission to engage and excite the youth through immersive, tech-driven gameplay.
“Cricket has always been close to my heart — from playing it, supporting it, to now investing in its digital future. GEPL is redefining how fans engage with the game, and I’m excited to be part of a league that’s breaking new ground and igniting passion among India’s youth through e-cricket,” said Suniel Shetty.
Backed by JetSynthesys, GEPL is already making waves — with 910,000+ player registrations, ₹3.05 crore in prize money, and 34 high-stakes matches this season. With Pune now in the mix, and Shetty at the helm, this is e-cricket like you’ve never seen before.
