LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The Interlink Group extended its warmest congratulations to its strategic partner, the Los Angeles Knight Riders, on capturing the franchise's first-ever Cognizant Major League Cricket (MLC) championship title. The Knight Riders secured the historic crown on July 18 in a thrilling, one-run victory, defeating the Washington Freedom 164 to 163/9 in the tournament final at the Oakland Coliseum in California.

The Interlink Group celebrates this landmark achievement alongside headline sponsors FuelHero.Ai, a portfolio company of The Interlink Group, and CA Business Bank, an affiliate of the firm, both of which served as headline sponsors throughout the championship-winning season.

This monumental victory closely follows the July 1, 2026, opening of the Knight Riders Cricket Ground, LA at Fairplex in Pomona, California - the franchise's permanent home venue, which is also slated to host Olympic cricket at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

"We are incredibly proud to congratulate our partners, the Los Angeles Knight Riders, on this monumental and hard-fought championship," said Shezad Rokerya, Executive Chairman of The Interlink Group. "This historic win, achieved with the support of our headline sponsors FuelHero.Ai and CA Business Bank, highlights the incredible synergy of vision, elite execution, and sports enterprise innovation.
