Peter England endures the cricket legacy with Kapil Dev, Sir. Vivian Richards and Harsha Bhogle
Peter England
, a
menswear brand
from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail has released a new campaign titled '
The League of Legends
'.
The campaign is a stirring tribute to the timeless spirit of cricket and its enduring legacy, brought to life by cricketing icons
Vivian Richards
,
Kapil Dev
and the voice of international cricket himself,
Harsha Bhogle
.
The brand has taken a bold step by uniting cricket lovers with a dash of fashion —not for sports jerseys, but to create a
cricket-inspired collection
, 'The League of Legends' collection- an extension to the brands existing 'The Gentleman's League' Collection.
At the heart of the campaign are four cinematic films that blend nostalgia, mentorship and personal legacy.
Two of these brand films feature cricketing icons Dev and Richards as they step in to guide young players through moments of doubt and pressure, offering wisdom and quiet strength drawn from their own legendary careers.
Clad in key pieces from the collection, the legends embody timeless grace and strength. Bhogle's evocative commentary ties the scenes together, elevating the emotional impact.
Complementing these are the third and fourth reaction films, where the legends first lay eyes on their tribute tees—the '83' and '79' T-shirts with their iconic poses—designed to honour their World Cup triumphs. The emotion is raw and real, capturing just how much the game—and its legacy—continues to mean to them.
Dev shared, 'This campaign brought back so many emotions. To see the spirit of '83 captured in a design—it's very special and I'm grateful to Peter England for making this. I've always believed cricket teaches you how to carry yourself. This collection does exactly that—with style and pride.'
Richards said, 'Style is about confidence. And cricket—well, that's a game of confidence. It's amazing to see a collection that reflects both. That '79 tee? That's not just a t-shirt. That's history. And I'm honoured that Peter England chose me.'
Bhogle added, 'This is my second season with Peter England, and I've enjoyed being a part of the brands journey in creating fashion for the cricket lover. Cricket is a narrative—a beautiful, unpredictable story. Lending my voice to these films was about celebrating those stories. I think every cricket lover will feel that same emotion when they watch this campaign.'
Anil S Kumar, chief business officer, Peter England said, 'With legends like Kapil Dev, Sir Vivian Richards on board, we're paying our humble tribute to the game and everything it stands for. We love how the voice of international cricket, Harsha Bhogle himself has added passion and a real feel of commentary to our films. The League of Legends is about inspiring individuals to carry that same spirit—on and off the field.'
The campaign is currently live across more than 240 stores, featuring on
IPL
and major digital platforms, and a series of on-ground activations, amplified through strategic content collaborations and immersive experiences.

Anjum returns to National shooting team with renewed energy
Anjum Moudgil is pleased to be back in the National team to shoot in the World Cup in Munich. After keeping a low profile for some time and being a bit detached from a sport that had kept her occupied for about a decade, Anjum has reclaimed the hunger to excel. 'I feel fresh and like a newcomer in the team,' said the 31-year-old Anjum, who has competed in the last two Olympics in Tokyo and Paris. Quite accomplished ever since she won the World Championship silver medal in air rifle in Changwon, Korea (2018), Anjum realised that she had been far too obsessed with shooting in the Olympics in the last two cycles. 'I have been doing minimal training before the National Championships and the National Games. I was still shooting well and won medals. I did well in the trials and could have competed in the World Cups earlier, if not in the main team. I chose to step back and focus on a few things that have been pending for a long time,' revealed Anjum. She utilised the time and all her savings, along with her husband Ankush Bhardwaj, to set up a dream project, Archon Fitness, a gym with a shooting range and other sporting facilities in Mohali. 'It is the only gym with a shooting range in Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula, the Tricity,' said Anjum, happy to have set up a dream project that provides a holistic fitness and recreation facility for everyone. Experience is a great teacher, only for those who are willing to learn. Anjum is a fine student of sport and life. Being a practitioner of the Art of Living, Anjum immerses herself in meditation and has learnt to live in the present. There is no reverse gear to retrace the past, and no acceleration to visualise the future. 'It has been great to take the mind off shooting and focus on so many other things. It has been a very good learning experience, tackling so many aspects. I have stopped thinking too far ahead. The focus is to stay in the moment and do one's best. After the Tokyo Olympics, we tuned to Paris quickly, because the time was also short. Now, I focus only on the current competition. We will think about Los Angeles in 2028,' she said. Relaxed With plenty of achievements and medals, both in air rifle and rifle 3-position events, Anjum is quite relaxed about her shooting. Years of diligent training have tuned her technique nicely. With an uncluttered mind, she can shoot very well, even with limited preparation. Even though two World Cups have finished already, there is plenty of action left in the season, with the Asian Championship and the World Championships lined up, along with another World Cup, before the Shooting League of India (SLI). Anjum is confident of fine-tuning her shooting to match world standards and lend the best possible support to the Indian team that is already quite dominant in the international arena. Anjum had won the mixed air rifle gold in Munich in 2019, and is ready to paint fresh memories to her rich collection.
