Jinder Mahal’s second run in WWE saw him become a big deal, and the company tried to ride on his back to gain a bigger fanbase outside the USA. As the WWE Champion, Mahal got several opportunities as he was seen as the face of the company.

In 2017, during his visit to India, Mahal took out some time to interact and play cricket with the Special Olympics Bharat Kids before his big match against Triple H at the WWE Supershow.

Speaking to India Today after the session, The Modern Day Maharaja had the following to say:

"It was awesome playing cricket with the Special Olympics team. So that was very cool and it was also very cool to meet them because they inspire me. Because when you see their attitude and the way that they have a passion for sports, for cricket, that's inspiring to me."

"They are very skilled, I tried to bowl but they bowl way better than me and actually I was learning from them. I picked up a few pointers from them and I think maybe after the WWE, I may have a career in cricket."
