Sahara, Dhoni take ownership of
HIL’s Ranchi team

MUMBAI: Sahara India Pariwar, along with Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has bought the Ranchi franchise of the Hockey India League (HIL). Incidentally, Sahara already owns the Lucknow team of HIL.

The new owners have named the team Ranchi Rays. The Ranchi team, which was known as Ranchi Rhinos, was jointly owned by Patel-PS Group and Uniexcel Group till 14 September 2012.

However, the team was booted out
following a disagreement between HIL and the owners.

HIL chairman Dr Narinder Batra said, “This is a great moment for Hockey India League to have
MS Dhoni on board as a franchisee owner of the world’s most prominent hockey league along with Sahara India Pariwar.

This initiative by Sahara India Pariwar showcases the faith that they have in Hero Hockey India League and I am happy by the kind of support that the League is garnering from all quarters.

This development also shows the advancement of the HIL where reputed corporate and sports
promoters are coming together to take Indian hockey at a new level altogether.”

Dhoni is also the co-owner of Indian Super League (ISL) Chennai franchise Chennayin FC along with Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan.
