The latest rumors swirling around the world of sports suggest that IPL franchise owners and many more powerful businessmen from the country could turn investors in the British T20 franchise league called 'The Hundred' from the 2025 season onwards. However, to what capacity they will be involved is yet unknown.

In a bid to compete with the likes of gigantic franchise leagues such as IPL and BBL, ECB came up with a new conceptual league called 'The Hundred.' The concept of having 100 balls per inning with several innovative rules was supposedly assessed as revolutionary. 

However, 'The Hundred' fell short of expectations and failed to garner enough views to sustain the league. Amid rumors of a complete shutdown, the league officials are likely to attract investors from India.

Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise owners have recently expanded their operations globally. Many franchise groups have bought teams in various leagues, including SA20 and ILT20 tournaments. Now, as per Money Control's latest report, Indian investors are likely to invest in 'The Hundred' from 2025 onwards,

Lalit Modi, former IPL chairman, and powerful businessman, along with former CSK owner N Srinivasan and a few other franchise owners, are interested in investing in 'The Hundred' from next year. 

Notably, these owners have played a crucial role in the success of the IPL and have demonstrated a keen interest in exploring new opportunities within the cricketing sphere. Their involvement could provide the Hundred League with access to resources, expertise, and a ready-made fanbase. It's the boost the league desperately needs to survive.

While details about the investment are yet to be finalized, the prospect of prominent cricketing personalities and IPL stakeholders backing the venture has generated considerable buzz and anticipation. If successful, the league could reshape the cricketing landscape and offer fans a fresh and exciting cricketing experience from 2025 onwards.
