The actor, along with the Knight Riders Group (KRG), has officially unveiled a state-of-the-art cricket stadium in Los Angeles, bringing his dream of expanding cricket’s global reach one step closer to reality.
Located at Fairplex in Pomona, California, the newly inaugurated Knight Riders Cricket Ground is expected to play a major role in the future of cricket in the United States. The stadium is also set to host cricket matches during the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, marking a significant milestone for the sport’s growing popularity in the country.
Sharing his excitement on social media, Shah Rukh described the moment as the fulfilment of a long-cherished dream.

“What started as a dream… turns into reality today. Welcoming you all to the Knight Riders Cricket Ground, LA. A place built not just for sports but also entertainment, families, and memories that last forever,” he wrote.
The actor also expressed gratitude to everyone who helped make the project possible. He specially thanked ICC Chairman Jay Shah, the International Cricket Council (ICC), and others who supported the initiative from the beginning.
“This is for Los Angeles, for cricket fans across the globe, and for the Knight Riders family. Believe in Purple and Gold. Welcome to the home of the Los Angeles Knight Riders,” Shah Rukh added.
The stadium will serve as the official home ground of the Los Angeles Knight Riders, the franchise co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan in Major League Cricket (MLC). The team is also set to play its first-ever home match at the newly built venue, marking the beginning of a new chapter for cricket in the United States.
Beyond hosting professional matches, the Knight Riders Cricket Ground has been designed as a community space where sports, entertainment and families can come together. The project reflects Shah Rukh Khan’s long-term vision of making cricket more accessible to fans around the world and helping the game grow in emerging markets.
Cricket has witnessed a rapid rise in popularity across the United States in recent years, especially with the launch of Major League Cricket and the country’s role as one of the hosts of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The addition of a dedicated international-standard venue further strengthens America’s preparations for the sport’s historic return to the Olympic Games in 2028.
With the opening of the Knight Riders Cricket Ground, Shah Rukh Khan has once again demonstrated his commitment to promoting cricket on a global stage. What began as a dream has now become a landmark destination that promises to inspire future generations of players and fans alike.
