The Reliance Industries have a strong footprint in the world of franchise cricket with their Indian Premier League team Mumbai Indians winning the most number of IPL titles (five). Meanwhile, the Adani Group, who have holdings in the kabaddi and kho kho leagues in India, made their first foray into cricket through the Gulf Giants at the DP World ILT20, which is being played across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah from 13 January through to 12 February 2023.
