Sonam Kapoor treats Tim Cook to an 'unforgettable' IPL match; Parth Jindal gifts Delhi Capitals mementos to Apple CEO

Billionaire Tim Cook is having a time of his life during his India tour.

From indulging in delicious food to enjoying an Indian Premiere League (IPL) match, the Apple CEO is ticking all the boxes to experience the country's true essence.

On Thursday evening, Bollywood diva Sonam Kapoor and her businessman-husband Anand Ahuja invited Cook to witness the grandeur of an IPL match in Delhi. He joined the couple at the VIP box of Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi to watch the match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).


Priced at around Rs 24,000, the exclusive and most expensive VIP boxes in the stadiums are usually used by franchise owners who use the space to keep the merchandise of their teams.


The actress took to social media to share moments from the stand with her 13.1 million followers.

"Tim Cook and the entire Apple team - we hope you’ve had a lovely stay here and leave encouraged and positive about Apple’s outlook in the country. We’re so grateful for the care and attention you’ve given to creating your signature world-class experience here," her post read which got more than two million views.

Cook thanked Kapoor and Ahuja for an "unforgettable evening!"


Sonam-Anand and Cook were joined by DC owner and businessman Parth Jindal, his wife Anushree Jasani and grandmother and businesswoman-turned-politician Savitri Jindal.

The JSW Cement and JSW Paints Managing Director said that he was honoured to meet Cook. He also credited the Apple boss for bringing luck to DC, which registered the first win of the season.

"Such an honor to have welcomed Tim Cook to Delhi Capitals' home ground. Tim - hope you had a good time - it’s fantastic to see Apple's growth in India - your presence yesterday brought DC the luck we needed for our first win of the season," Jindal tweeted.


The DC franchise owner also gifted Cook some team mementoes.


Cook also spent his evening with BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla watching the IPL cricket. Cook had watched an IPL cricket match with Shukla during his previous visit in 2016.

On Thursday, Apple opened its doors to its second flagship store in the national capital. The retail store is situated at Select CityWalk mall in Saket, South Delhi, and a delighted Cook welcomed customers.

The Apple store will offer personalised support and unique experiences for customers to discover the various aspects of the technology.
