Apart from Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar too invested in the International Premier Tennis League. Gavaskar, along with Kishan Gehlot, chairman of the Intex Group, Shashi Shetty, chairman of the Avvashya group, and Ajay Sethi, chairman of Channel 2, jointly owns the Singapore franchise of the league.

"Tennis as a sport has always been instrumental in transcending borders and catering to multiple demographies, therefore our decision to bid for the Singapore franchise in what I believe is the next big step towards the golden era of tennis." Gavaskar was quoted as saying.

Not just tennis, Gavaskar bought the Mumbai franchise of the Indian Badminton League (IBL) too, which is also co-owned by actor Akkineni Nagarjuna and former manager of the Indian cricket team V Chamundeshwarnath.

"I am proud to be associated with badminton which I've always admired and passionately followed and played a bit as a fan. The sport has produced legends and recorded many milestones for India and I hope my association with the Indian Badminton League proves to be a worthy contribution to the great sport of badminton," Gavaskar had said.
