    earlier this year to bring the prestigious International Olympic Committee
    Session back to Mumbai in 2023 after a 40-year hiatus. Director of Reliance
    Industries Mrs. Nita Ambani stated, "I'm thrilled to welcome our new T20
    team to the Reliance family! We are thrilled to bring South Africa's brand of
    fearless and entertaining cricket to that country, which shares our love of the
    game with India. We are eager to examine the strength and potential of this
    collaboration with South Africa's robust sporting ecosystem.



    We are still dedicated to
    using sport to bring happiness and cheer to people as we expand MI's global
    cricketing footprint! The chairman of Reliance Jio, Mr. Akash Ambani, stated,
    "With the addition of our South African franchise, we now have three T20
    teams spread across three nations. We look forward to using our knowledge of
    the Mumbai Indians brand and the cricket ecosystem to help develop the team and
    give fans some of the best cricketing experiences.
