In a country where cinema stirs hearts and cricket ignites souls, nothing captures India’s collective passion quite like the exciting blend of the two. After the tremendous success of last year, the World Championship of Legends (WCL) gears up for its highly anticipated Season 2, with all eyes on the reigning champions- Team India Champions, once again led by none other than cricketing icon Yuvraj Singh.
Co-owned by Bollywood star Ajay Devgn, the World Championship of Legends (WCL) is set for a fierce competition as six legendary cricketing nations—India, Australia, England, South Africa, Pakistan, and West Indies—lock horns, each represented by teams packed with cricketing stalwarts.
Coming off a thrilling title win last year, Team India Champions returns stronger than ever. The squad gets a massive boost with the inclusion of Shikhar Dhawan, who joins a powerhouse squad of match-winners and fan favorites. The team blends experience, power, and flair with veterans like Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, and Robin Uthappa, making it one of the most well-rounded line-ups this season. The rest of the team also includes Yusuf Pathan, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, Gurkeerat Mann, Siddharth Kaul, Abhimanyu Mithun, Vinay Kumar, Varun Aaron, Piyush Chawla, and Pawan Negi.
On being asked about the league, the legendary cricketer:
“It’s been amazing to see how WCL has grown into something that truly connects with cricket fans around the world. I’m really excited to be back on the field, playing the game I love, and sharing it with some of the biggest legends. Team India Champions is more than just a squad, it’s a legacy. WCL is not just another cricket league, it’s a grand celebration that brings legendary players together, rekindling the magic of the game and to remind everyone why they fell in love with cricket in the first place. With the talent and heart this team has, we’re definitely aiming to bring the trophy home again.” – Yuvraj Singh, captain of Team India Champions
“We are very excited with our team this year, having made considerable changes in both bowling and batting departments, we feel very confident in defending the maiden Title under the bale captaincy of Legendary Yuvraj Singh” – Sumant Bahl, Co-owner, Team India Champions.
As Season 2 of WCL kicks off, Team India Champions isn’t just returning to the field, they’re returning with intent, legacy, and a dream to defend the title and make the country proud once again. Get ready for a showdown that transcends sport, blurs borders, and brings back the glory of the game.
