The owners of Indian IPL cricket club Delhi Daredevils are interested in investing in Liverpool Football Club, according to Sky Sports.

Members of the Indian-based GMR Group were in Merseyside this week to discuss a possible takeover or an investment in the club.

The group is owned by Grandhi Mallikarjun Rao, who is is ranked the 198th richest in the world and has his wealth valued at $6.2 billion.

Rao sent his members to Merseyside to discuss the move and they sat alongside American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett in the Anfield directors’ box for the clash with Arsenal on Tuesday which ended in a 4-4 draw.

The GMR Group, a leading infrastructure developer in India, currently run the Delhi Daredevils cricket side but are believed to be looking to expand into other sports.

Hicks and Gillett must soon refinance the £350million loan which enabled them to buy the club but are currently unable to do so.

Several other businessmen are interested in buying a share of Liverpool including Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai’s ruling family and Nassar Al Kharafi of Kuwait.
