Not to be outdone by the glamor quotient of SRK’s Knight Riders or Delhi Daredevils who now has Akshay Kumar or Mahali who has Preity Zinta as sponsor and others with their share of celebrity - Reliance roped in Hrithik as the Brand Ambassador for Mumbai Indians !

Given the nature of the IPL, teams like Kolkata Knight Riders and King
XI (Mohali) have received their fair share of publicity and promotion,
what with actors Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta owning them (respectively).
The Delhi Daredevils, too, have upped their EQ (Entertainment Quotient)
by appointing Khiladi Akshay Kumar to be their brand ambassador.
