The two times IPL champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) CEO Venky Mysore may invest in the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) organized league 'The Hundred' if they get approached.

'The Telegraph' reported that Mysore hasn't ruled out the possibility of stepping into the league with a new format.

"I know this story is going around. All I said was 'if we are approached to consider investing in 'The Hundred', we will evaluate it'," Mysore told PTI, reacting to the report in the English daily. 

Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise has a team in Caribbean Premier League and South Africa's Global T20 league. 

"We are the biggest brand in IPL and perhaps the only global brand in cricket. So we can understand why leagues around the world would be interested in getting Knight Riders on board," Mysore said. 

Currently, ECB had to push the Hundred’s launch back to 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Cricket can only be played without spectators for now.
