What Manchester Super Giants' Title Win Reveals About Sanjiv Goenka's Passion for Cricket

Manchester Super Giants' win in The Hundred has brought renewed attention to an older interview in which Jos Buttler spoke about Sanjiv Goenka's passion for the sport, recorded before the tournament even began.

Every franchise owner operates differently. Some are in cricket primarily as a business, treating a team like any other investment. Others are visibly invested in the sport itself, and that difference tends to show up in how a franchise is run and how players talk about it.

Buttler's comments painted Goenka as firmly in the latter category -- an owner whose enthusiasm for the game itself, not just the franchise's bottom line, comes through in how he engages with the team. A title in The Hundred is a fitting follow-up to that story.
