Jackky Bhagnani acquires Team Cheetahs in World Padel League, expands sports footprint
Bhagnani was recently seen attending a padel event on April 11, where she was also joined by Vashu Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh. The acquisition positions Team Cheetahs alongside other teams in the league, including the VB Realty Hawks, as the tournament continues to build momentum among sports fans. Speaking about the development, Jackie said, “Entering the World Padel League through Team Cheetahs feels like a memorable moment in my life. Padel has become one of the fastest growing sports across the world, and it gives me immense pleasure to bring it to India.”
Outlining his vision to contribute to the growth of the game in the country, he further said, “I have always been a firm believer in strength, agility and ambition and Team Cheetah represents that. I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this journey.”
The World Padel League continues to attract attention with its efforts to popularize padel by providing a premium platform for players and spectators. With the support of Bhagnani, the popularity of this game is expected to increase in India.
Known for his interest in fitness and sports, Jackky along with his wife Rakul Preet Singh were recognized as the Fit India Couple by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports last year.
With this acquisition, Bhagnani signals a strategic move towards promoting a broader sporting culture, as Team Cheetahs looks to establish a strong presence in the league at both the national and international levels.
