John Abraham gifted himself a hockey team yesterday as he turned 41 on Tuesday

John Abraham is now officially the proud co-owner of Delhi Waveriders team. The actor was supposed to buy a 13 per cent stake in the team but the actor went ahead and bought the team on a 50-50 basis with the Wave Group.

The actor-producer, who is in Dubai, is shooting for the upcoming Welcome Back as well. `Hockey is very special to me as it's our national sport. It's a nice place to be in.

We have really excelled in hockey,` before adding about his stake in the team, `That is a confidential and personal matter. I am the co-owner of the team now and this makes the connection more special. The prospect of encouraging the sport excited me.`


So does he think that hockey is still treated as an underdog sport and needs all the encouragement? `To be honest, hockey has taken off. It's doing fairly well and I have seen kids who go to watch a hockey match. It's an exciting sport,` says the ardent Liverpool fan.

John will be back in the city around Christmas eve.
