Suhail Chandhok exclusive on growing a team in non-cricket market: 'We are a nation that loves heroes, not necessarily the sport'
U Mumba CEO and TV presenter Suhail Chandhok, in this exclusive chat with Firstpost, spoke about the challenges he faces as sports administrator, India's sporing culture and the future of Indian sports. Suhail Chandhok has worn many hats, including those of a cricketer, an actor, a TV presenter, and now CEO of U Mumba. However, he says that the transition to the administration side of this industry was 'natural' for him. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Suhail spoke about his journey, the challenges of being a young CEO, and his belief in building the right team culture. His love for sport began on the field, and when his playing days ended, he found a job as a TV presenter/commentator, doing stints for the Pro Kabaddi League, the Indian Premier League, and other sports. Now, Suhail has moved to the business side with kabaddi becoming his launchpad. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On the financial side, Suhail revealed that sponsorship for non-cricket leagues hovers between Rs 3.5-5 crore a season, but he stressed that media rights are the real game-changer and play a big role in revenue generation. Suhail urged that more media platforms must back Indian sports. 'I think sponsorship is always something that is going to dictate a measure of success in some sense but I think that's not necessarily right, because sponsorship is only one metric of value. For instance, yes, you know, some teams are more successful than, let's say, three or four other leagues, whether it be volleyball, kho-kho, tennis, or badminton.' 'However, I think there is value that each sport brings to its own niche. Having said that, it has roughly been around the four to five crore mark in terms of sponsorship. That goes up and down, it yo-yos between three-and-a-half to four-and-a-half, five crores per season. 'Media rights are a big unlocking value, and I think we have to understand that media rights will always drive the overall value of a sport, of a franchise, of a team. That will continue to dictate value. However, that's where the market plays a big role. Today, we're again heading into what is potentially a monopoly market of Jio and Star coming together and I do hope that unlocking value continues. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suhail also warned about the growing trend of big conglomerates controlling all the stakes in major sporting leagues in India, especially in terms of broadcast. 'We shouldn't lean on a monopoly market. I do hope to see more and more media houses come in that want to house sport, whether it be global entities entering India, like Netflix and the WWE deal. It's a great dictate for what the future of sport might look like. When you look at the effect that a Formula 1 movie has had, or a Drive to Survive show has had, or WWE now being on Netflix, I do hope more global platforms look at Indian sport and Indian leagues as a potential. I think the next ten years are going to be very strong for India, and more platforms need to enter the market.' Suhail on taking PKL to next level The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has already grown into one of the biggest sporting leagues in India, second only to the IPL in stature. Suhail opened up about the gaps that can be filled by the PKL organisers to make the league even bigger in India. 'I think listening to the franchises' needs a little bit more is important. All of us – all 12 teams – are looking to work with the PKL to grow the sport. What we need to do is unlock the true value of the sport. While the league, as an entity, is largely owned by the broadcaster, I think we still need to separate the two and work with the teams, the stakeholders of the sport, and others who are genuinely trying to promote it.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We must also clamp down on any rubbish that's going on. We need to be very stern and focused on the progress of the sport in one clear direction. The league has done a fabulous job of building it to where it is today, but now it's the league's responsibility to take it up an extra notch. How do we commit to the future of the sport when we already have such strong stakeholders?' 'In terms of stature, I think only the IPL is a rival. We have the Kotak family, the Screwvala family, the Adanis, JSW, the Bachchans, Capri Global, and other private investors in the mix. This is a strong core group of team owners who are not looking for a quick exit, which means the sport is in safe hands. When the sport is in safe hands, it's our responsibility to stay true to it, unlock its value, and not stunt its growth.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suhail believes that it is important to support new entrants because it will only help the sport grow. 'It's equally important to support others around the sport who are trying to do good for it. At Elev8 India Sports, we follow a 'copyleft' policy – we want to see more and more people come in. It's not about copyright and blocking; it's about allowing people to enter, contribute, and help the sport grow. Kabaddi is still at a nascent stage, so we need more people to talk about it, work for it, and build it up. Blocking new entrants will only curb enthusiasm and growth.' Suhail stressed that growing the sport is not just the league's job, but a shared duty for everyone involved. 'Everyone has a responsibility to help the sport grow. At the same time, we must educate players about what is right and wrong. Addressing certain issues today will help the sport clean up its act for the future as well.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Suhail on issues non-cricket leagues face Suhail also talked about the challenges that a growing sport like kabaddi faces. He said that when big money enters a sport suddenly, it can sometimes distract players from the true motivation of why they started playing in the first place. 'When a lot of money comes into the sport very very quickly, players stop understanding what the true value of why they are playing this game. You start to play for the auction or you start to play for your personal value rather than the value of a team. I think it's only very natural. It happened with the IPL when there was sudden unlocking of value where players started playing for their franchises rather than playing for their nations. Rather than committing to the calender of a country, they started playing where the money was. That is happening with kabaddi as well and I think helping players understand why they are playing this sport, why the sport has give them so much.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'So, player education is important. At Elev8 India Sportz Yuva Series we do a lot of financial literacy, we do a lot player psychology, we work with players understand anti-corruption, what their true value is.' Suhail on positive and negative trends in non-cricket leagues Suhail said the most promising sign is that Indian sports culture is slowly expanding beyond cricket. However, he pointed out that India's tendency to idolise individuals rather than the sport itself is a major issue. 'I think the trend is that we are leaning towards not just cricket. And I think that's something that has to happen for a country to become a true sporting nation. Firstly, there's one big challenge in India: we are a nation that loves heroes and not necessarily the sport. When I worked on the badminton league, people would rush to watch your PV Sindhu versus Saina Nehwal.' 'But when you had a Carolina Marin facing off against a world number two and number one at the time, the stadium would be empty. So we appreciate heroes and not the sport, and I think that needs to change for India to take steps towards becoming a true sporting nation. However, look at the flip side — while we turned up in large numbers to watch a javelin event, we may have all turned up in 10,000 numbers to watch a Neeraj Chopra.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'But when you get there and watch Neeraj Chopra, you start to understand what the sport of javelin even is. So I think it takes a hero to bring about awareness to a sport and vice versa. But at the same time, I do hope that while 10-15,000 people turned up to watch a javelin event in Bangalore — and I think that's a sign that India is heading in the right direction — I hope that tomorrow, when Neeraj Chopra is not necessarily the only guy that's there, at least 5,000 people do turn up to watch a javelin event.' 'And I think that's going to be the hallmark of success going forward. Because while we are talking about a 2036 Olympic bid, I hope that we understand that we have to build sporting culture, and that starts with everyone playing a sport. When you play a sport, you'll automatically tune into watching a sport. And I think that's what I want for all of us to do.' 'But I think the trend is very positive — more and more people are taking to a tennis court, a badminton court, a table tennis table, a pickleball court, a paddle court, playing football with their friends, playing kabaddi with their friends in their neighborhood.' Suhail on turning down offers from IPL teams Suhail revealed that he turned down management offers from teams in three different sports, including IPL franchises, before joining U Mumba at what he called 'the right time.' 'I unfortunately can't give you a full disclosure on those. All I will say is it's been across three different sports. I think the timing was such that it came at the right time with kabaddi. Since then, there's been a couple of others as well, including IPL teams. I will come back to I guess cricket in many ways and forms was one opportunity that, that came and went. I just thought that it would've taken a much bigger commitment in terms of time, and I don't think I would've been able to do broadcast at all if I took on a slightly larger commitment as well,' he said. 'Uh, but also I think it was the ability to do it at the right time, right? And I've always been someone that believes that things happen when they need to happen. And I think, you know, saying yes to the right opportunity is absolutely critical as well. There have been opportunities not just in India, but outside of India as well — again, very exciting stuff. And it's always nice to know you're wanted, right? I think that means you're doing something right.' Suhail on his equation with U Mumba owner Ronnie Screwvala While Suhail doesn't own a stake in U Mumba, he has full autonomy in running things as a CEO. He also acknowledged that he leans on his father-in-law, Ronnie Screwvala (owner of parent group U Sports), for advice related to the finances of the team. 'Unfortunately, not (on being asked if he owns a stake in U Sports). I am purely here as a consultant and a CEO. But look, I think there are positives and negatives to being so closely related to a franchise and to the owner of a team, especially when someone is of Ronnie's stature as well. I think he's an extremely hard taskmaster, and I think with that comes two sides, right? You have to have a great deal of transparency and honesty with yourself and, therefore, with him as well, and I was very clear about it when I took on the role." 'I think there's even more pressure when you take on a role where you're so closely related. There's so much more that you have to have in terms of belief so that you can put aside anything that anyone could potentially say. The good thing is that everyone knows I come in with a lot more sporting knowledge than many others here, and I think that for me was the number one conversation I had with Ronnie. I said, 'You know what? If it's a business decision, if it's something related to finance, I want to make sure that the door to you is open and I can come and have a chat and get the advice I need from you. But when it comes to sporting decisions, they have to be mine and mine alone.' And, you know, to this date, he's honoured that.' 'But at the same time, when it comes to the business side of things, I have the ability to tap his brain, and I think that's something wonderful to have. So while there is the added pressure of that, I think when you have the conviction of knowing you know the subject better than anyone else, you go in with that confidence.'

KKR join race for Sanju Samson race, offer RR two players including last year's Team India debutant: Report
The IPL rumour mill has been churning in this brief window of break for the Indian national team. The most on-demand player, the one who every IPL team has an eye on, is current Rajasthan Royals captain and Indian T20I opener Sanju Samson. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson flips the coin at a toss in IPL 2025.(ANI) The latest team to join the Samson sweepstakes are reportedly Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise in search of a marquee domestic talent to take charge of their top order in the coming seasons. With the RR captain seemingly an option on the table even before the auction for next year's competition, Bengali newspaper Anandabazar Patrika reports that KKR are considering flipping the high-profile talents of Angkrish Raghuvanshi or Ramandeep Singh. While both players provide high domestic upside and are players for the long-term future, RR will need to ask themselves how they also fit into current plans. For the team from Jaipur, the problem areas in 2025 was pace bowling and reliable lower middle order batting. Neither of the players they would receive in exchange for Samson are particularly suited for those roles, but could still prove to be valuable purchases for a team that has never shied away from taking big gambles on younger prospects. Is Samson a good fit for KKR? Meanwhile, Samson would fit in nicely at KKR, taking over the gloves and opening up an extra overseas slot as he would replace Quinton de Kock or Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the opening position. The key for the two teams would be to figure out the nitty-gritty details of such a team: Samson earns a top band of retainer money at INR 18 crore, suiting his status as Indian opener, but the two younger players only combine for INR 7 crore combined. Any such deal will likely include some cash involved. KKR are not the only team Samson has been linked with, as different reports indicate that Chennai Super Kings are very serious about landing the services of Samson for their team. However, RR's demands in response are steep, as they ask for captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, all-round power hitter Shivam Dube, or a homecoming for experienced veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. A potential Samson trade is likely to be a matter of concern for much of the league, with everyone with their ears to the ground in terms of finding the right trade for the Kerala superstar.

How three images during England tour captured Indian cricket's seamless transition into Shubman Gill era
Three arresting images, during the 50-day chase of the Indian team all over England, came with a reminder of life's transient nature and the fleeting nature of fame. It also underlined the futility of overthinking potential problems. But before talking about the frames worth many thousand words, a bit of background. At the start of the five-Test series, India worried themselves silly. They weren't sure about dealing with the trauma of watching cricket without the two recently retired stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on the field. For over a decade, Virat and Rohit had decided the biorhythm of a nation, their batting form dictated a million moods. Early reports from England said that the usual fan frenzy was missing when India, under new captain Shubman Gill, landed in England. Very few turned up at the airport, not many were checking where they were staying. Did the 25-year-old with the face and voice of a teenager have it in him to lead India in a long away Test series against the tough-talking Bazballers? How all those fears turned out to be unfounded. Though the human race keeps forgetting, life keeps posting periodic reminders of its cyclic nature and the impermanence of things. There would be departures that threaten doom but this England tour was a reminder they could well be a false signal and turn out to be the foreword to a story of some grand arrival. Given Indian cricket's acrimonious succession history, this one was surprisingly without intrigue or public heartburn. Prince Shubman would settle on the throne with ease, as if he was born to rule. King Kohli, if reports are to be believed, called the new captain at his London home, for a meal. He would tweet a small loving note when he scored the double hundred. 'Well Played Star Boy. Rewriting history. Onwards and upwards from here. You deserve all of this.' Rohit Sharma would land up at The Oval on the penultimate day of the final Test and cheer for the team from the VVIP boxes. Everybody seemed happy, at peace with the role they were playing, or not playing. Indian cricket's transition was so seamless and smooth that it took some time for it to sink in. The three images helped. First was a chance sighting. The intention, at the time of getting into the London tube, was to shop for shoes at an Oxford Circus shop that is known for deals to die for. Stepping out of Green Park station you run into the crowd flowing out of Hyde Park – London's sprawling meadow that's a melting pot of runners, walkers, joggers, picnickers, families with young kids and all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts. Among the wave of happy smiling humanity was Rohit with his wife, kids and nannies. Bending to speak to his daughter, he seemed to be enjoying his family time. He was dragging a plastic kiddie scooter while wife was pushing a pram. Headed towards their place of stay, they had to pass the point where the tube commuters and those leaving Hyde Park converged. It was something very mildly, just as a concept, similar to the Churchgate terminus where the sea of office-goers meet the Azad maidan regular. Rohit could do in London and what he could never experience in Mumbai. The mega stars seemed pleased to be one of the many enjoying a lovely day with their loved ones. The second picture is of Virat at Yuvraj Singh's charity dinner, again in London. He landed at the venue after the Indian team left early. Before he was invited on the stage, he seemed pleased to interact with other former Test cricketers like him. Around him were mostly his seniors, Virat seemed to be pleased to catch up with them. In the past there have been reports of bad blood between Yuvraj and Kohli. There were allegations that Kohli didn't want Yuvraj in the team on fitness grounds. But those seemed like bygones. Everyone had grown up and was ready to move on. Kohli too seemed happy with his life in London, he too has spoken about family time, parks and kids. Was he missing the Indian team? – the show's MC would ask him. 'I just coloured my beard two days back… when you start doing that after every four days, it is time,' he said, stroking his chin wisely. One of the greatest batsman to have played the game had found his closure. VIDEO | Here's what India's batting icon and former skipper Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) said about his retirement from Test cricket at Yuvraj Singh's fundraiser event: 'I just coloured my beard two days ago. You know it's time when you're colouring your beard every four days.'… — Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) July 9, 2025 London seems to be the perfect getaway, and permanent home, for Indian cricket stars perpetually under threat to be mobbed when in Indian public spaces. Celebrated painter Stuart Pearson Wright, who painted Sachin Tendulkar's stunning portrait that hangs at the Lord's museum, had a chat with the batting great on this issue. 'There is one thing in our conversation that has stuck in my mind. He started by asking me where I was from. And at the time I lived in London. He said, 'I love London because when I'm there I can walk in the park with my children. It gave me a snapshot of his life in Mumbai,' recalled Stuart. 'He can't even leave his house without a team of people … it's something that most of us take for granted, just the freedom to wander … particularly with our families, our children. I didn't have children at that stage. So, I've got two kids now. Okay. And that resonated with me.' London parks and kids – it seems Virat and Rohit have found their own new meadows and teammates. They would help them to get over the pain of missing the stadium, dressing room and green pitches. What about Shubman, the new inheritor of the crown of thorns? The third frame is of him from Manchester, midway through the series with England leading 2-1. In the previous Test at Lord's the skipper had lost his cool during the tense final minutes of the Day 4 when India wanted wickets and the English players were trying to waste time to avoid facing Jasprit Bumrah under fading light. That's when Shubman snapped and shouted at opener Zak Crawley. He told him to show some guts but in his utterance he mentioned 'balls' and how he needs to grow them. The English press had a field day. They headlined Shubman's sledge, not even missing the 'f*%&king' that the Indian captain had thrown in for impact. At the next press conference, Shubman knew what was coming. An English reporter did rake up the issue and the Indian captain's eyes lit up like he had spotted a ball that was well short of good length. 'A lot of people have been talking about this so let me clear the air for once and for all' – it was the emphatic and authoritative 'enough is enough' prelude to his strong statement about English players abusing the spirit of the game that perked the ears of the reporters. Shubman's eyes blank and the nostrils flared, this was not the boy with dimples and rom com star looks. This was a batsman who had broken records, played a match-winning innings and stared the opponents in their eyes. This was a moment when doubts flew out the window and got lost in the muggy Manchester air. It was when you realised that you were watching a captain who would be at the helm for a long time. A relaxed Rohit at the park, a satisfied Virat on stage and Shubman's show of gravitas at the press conference helped to process the change. It helped convince the mind that Rohit isn't the captain, Kohli isn't the King. And henceforth, Shubman will do everything that Rohit and Kohli used to do.
