Salman Khan kicked off the new season of Celebrity Cricket League in Dubai last month to support his brother Sohail Khan’s Mumbai Heroes. In a recent interaction, the actor said that his cricketing days are long over when asked if he will play these events.
Salman Khan said, “Woh mera cricket khelne ka time chala gaya hai. Agar main cricket khel raha hota toh main aaj commentary bhi nahi de raha hota. Woh bhi umar chali gayi. Achha kar raha hoon aap logo ki dua se industry mein. Industry mein bahut achha kar raha hoon and it’s all because of you (My time for playing cricket has passed. If I were still playing cricket, I wouldn’t even be doing commentary today. That time has also passed. I am doing well in the industry, thanks to your blessings. I am doing very well in the industry, and it’s all because of you). Thank you to my audience and my fans.”
In a conversation with the match host, Salman said, “I am glad that CCL continued for so many years. We had no idea that it would turn out like that when we did the first season. Back then the Mumbai team used to take it more as a fun activity but since the beginning south industry has always been more competitive. I think that also motivated the other teams to raise their level and perform better. I see all these boys working so hard, not just Mumbai Heroes but also other teams, and that makes me so proud of the film fraternity.” ALSO READ: Sajid Nadiadwala’s Masterstroke: Salman Khan & AR Murugadoss team up for Kick 2 spectacle; to hit theatres Eid 2025
