Kavya Maran, who made headlines with her style and smile in IPL, is once again in the news. This time the reason is not IPL, but The Hundred League of England. Kavya Maran has changed the name of her team in this league. Now forget Northern Superchargers, because now the new name of this team will be Sunrisers Leeds.
The team was bought for crores
In fact, Chennai-based media company Sun Group, owned by Kalanidhi Maran and Kavya Maran is its director, had purchased Northern Superchargers earlier this year. The price of this deal is said to be around Rs 1155 crore. Earlier the Yorkshire club had 51 percent stake in the team and the England Cricket Board (ECB) had 49 percent. Now both these stakes have been bought by Sun Group, which means now the entire team is under the control of the Maran family.
Why was it named ‘Sunrisers Leeds’?
Hearing the new name of the team, you might have been reminded of Sunrisers Hyderabad of IPL or Sunrisers Eastern Cape of SA20 League. Actually, Kavya Maran wants the brand of all her teams to look the same. For this reason, he has also added “Sunrisers” in the name of this England team. Because this team is from the city of Leeds, its full name is Sunrisers Leeds.
All the necessary documents regarding the new name have been submitted to the Companies House in Leeds. That means now the name “Northern Superchargers” has become history.
There will be more changes in The Hundred
You will be surprised to know that Kavya’s team is not the only one whose name has been changed. According to reports, Manchester Originals will be renamed as Manchester Super Giants and Oval Invincibles will be renamed as Mumbai Indians London.
Kavya’s brand ‘Sunrisers’
Kavya Maran has now started spreading her ‘Sunrisers’ brand across the world.
In IPL: Sunrisers Hyderabad
In SA20: Sunrisers Eastern Cape
Now in The Hundred: Sunrisers Leeds
