Bengaluru Yodhas, the JSW Group owned franchise in the Pro Wrestling League, has announced India's Test captain Virat Kohli as the co-owner of the team.
Kohli who led the Indian team to a 3-0 Test series victory over South Africa recently, is all set to take it #FromBatToMat with this association with the Bengaluru franchise.
The Pro Wrestling League, whose inaugural edition kicks off today (December 10) in New Delhi's KD Jadhav stadium, pits six city-based franchises against one another in one of the richest freestyle wrestling tournaments in the world.
Kohli's Bengaluru Yodhas will face Rohit Sharma's UP Warriors in their opening fixture on, where the world will see the two cricketers as owners and in different dug outs.
Kohli said that when he was asked to consider the idea of co-owning the Bengaluru Yodhas, he was delighted to step into the mat and jump at the opportunity.
"I was thrilled on hearing about the Pro Wrestling League and JSW Bengaluru Yodhas. I am no stranger to the city of Bangalore and it is wonderful that I can extend my association by way of the Yodhas," he said.
