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 World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh. '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," said Yuvraj. Co-owned by Bollywood star Ajay Devgn, the World Championship of Legends (WCL) promises fierce competition as six big cricketing nations — India, Australia, England, South Africa, Pakistan, and the West Indies — go head-to-head, each represented by teams filled with marquee names. At the heart of this high-octane tournament is Team India Champions, owned by UK-based Sports Merchants Ltd, led by Salman Ahmed, Jaspal Bahra, and Sumant Bahl. Deeply passionate about the game, the trio is committed to leading India Champions to the very top of the league. Coming off a thrilling title win last year, Team India Champions return 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 includes Yusuf Pathan, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, Gurkeerat Mann, Siddharth Kaul, Abhimanyu Mithun, Vinay Kumar, Varun Aaron, Piyush Chawla, and Pawan Negi. "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,' said Yuvraj. 'This team represents more than just cricket - it stands for legacy, leadership, and pride," said Salman Ahmed, Co-owner of Team India Champions. "Having legends like Yuvraj Singh lead the side brings not just experience but also immense inspiration for the entire team. We're not just defending a title - we're raising the bar for what this team stands for." The season starts on July 18 (Friday) in Edgbaston with India's first game scheduled on July 20 and will be played in Birmingham, Leeds and and Leicester. Star Sports and TNT Sports will broadcast the matches in India and the UK respectively.
