Atletico de Kolkata have won the tournament twice

The former India captain’s love for football is known to all. Ganguly, along with Spanish League giants Atletico Madrid and businessmen Harshavardhan Neotia, Sanjeev Goenka and Utsav Parekh, co-owns the Kolkata franchise, which is also the most successful team in the tournament.

Atletico de Kolkata, as the team is called, won the inaugural edition of the league in 2014, and once again reclaimed that trophy in 2016 to be the 2017 title defenders. In both their title-winning finals, Ganguly’s team beat Sachin’s Kerala Blaster. The Cricket Association of Bengal’s president is often spotted in the stadium during ATK games.
