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. <img alt="John Abraham." src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/dec/John-Abraham_7.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 439px;" /> John Abraham. Pic/Satyajit Desai The actor-producer, who is in Dubai, is shooting for the upcoming Welcome Back as well. &ldquo;Hockey is very special to me as it&rsquo;s our national sport. It&rsquo;s a nice place to be in. We have really excelled in hockey,&rdquo; before adding about his stake in the team, &ldquo;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.&rdquo; So does he think that hockey is still treated as an underdog sport and needs all the encouragement? &ldquo;To be honest, hockey has taken off. It&rsquo;s doing fairly well and I have seen kids who go to watch a hockey match. It&rsquo;s an exciting sport,&rdquo; says the ardent Liverpool fan. John will be back in the city around Christmas eve. u00a0
