Cricketer Rohit Sharma was on Wednesday named a co-owner of the Pro Wrestling League team UP Warriors.

Sharma is the big celebrity to co-own a team in the much-hyped league, after Bollywood veteran Dharmendra.

Speaking about the association, Sharma said: “India has had a long and proud history with Wrestling. I am proud to come on board as one of the co-owners of the UP Warriors team at the Pro Wrestling League. Our team has the best line-up of wrestlers including India’s most celebrated wrestler Sushil Kumar. We look forward to making it to the top of the league for the first season of the PWL.”
