Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have once again become the talk of the entire nation as their latest move reflects the unique identity of being able to stand out. With three IPL titles in 2012, 2014 and 2024, the franchise has grown into a global brand and now, it has taken a historic step. It has become the first cricket franchise group in the world to build its own stadium in Los Angeles.
On July 1, Shah Rukh Khan and the Knight Riders Group unveiled the Knight Riders Cricket Ground in Pomona, Los Angeles. The venue will serve as the home ground of the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) in Major League Cricket (MLC) and is also set to host matches during the 2028 LA Olympic Games, marking cricket’s return to the Olympics for the first time since 1900.
Sharing the news on X, Shah Rukh Khan described it as “a place built not just for sports but also for entertainment, families, and memories that last forever,” calling the project “a dream that turns into reality”.
Sharing a video on social media, SRK said, “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 and for families… and memories that last forever. Special thanks to Jay bhai who has been too kind through this journey @JayShah, & @ICC and @Sanjog_G for being so supportive. This is for LA, for cricket fans across the globe, and for the Knight Riders family. Believe in Purple and Gold. Welcome to the home of @LA_KnightRiders”.
Built on a 10-acre site with an investment of roughly USD 21 million (Rs. 199 crore) the stadium reflects Knight Riders’ long-term vision. The ground held its first competitive match on the day of unveiling as the Los Angeles Knight Riders locked horns with Washington Freedom in their opening match of the 2026 MLC season.
