WCL 2025: Yuvraj Singh to Captain India Champions in Legends World Championship

Yuvraj Singh, a distinguished Indian cricket star, has confirmed that he will play in the World Championship of Legends' second season, which is set to begin in the UK in July. In the first edition of the competition, the renowned all-rounder led the Indian team to a championship victory, demonstrating outstanding leadership. Shikhar Dhawan, an experienced opening batsman who retired from international cricket last year, will be joining Yuvraj in his tournament debut.

Last year, in the tournament's first edition, the ace all-rounder led India to victory over bitter rivals Pakistan in the final at Birmingham's Edgbaston. This year, on July 20, India and Pakistan will play each other in the league stage at the same location. Shikhar Dhawan, a skilled opening batsman, will accompany Yuvraj. After retiring from international cricket last year, the cricket player will be participating in his first event.

Yuvraj Singh's New Challenge: 

Yuvraj Singh spoke about guiding India once more in the second WCL T20 tournament, which is supported by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). Yuvraj Said, “I’m looking forward to representing our nation at the World Championship of Legends again. The memories of our victory in the first edition of the tournament, alongside my teammates will always remain close to my heart.”

Yuvraj, Suresh Raina, Robin Uthappa, Irfan and Yusuf Pathan, and numerous other Indian cricketing legends gave incredible performances at the previous World Championship of Legends, demonstrating that their love for the game is still very much alive and well. As Indian cricket fans saw their heroes perform powerfully on the major stage, the competition swiftly gained international attention.

Top international players from Australia, the West Indies, England, Pakistan, and South Africa will face the India Champions, who are owned by Sumant Bahl, Salman Ahmed, and Jaspal Bahra, as they return to Edgbaston. The WCL has been praised as a revolutionary competition that brings retired cricket greats back into the public eye and rekindles their passion for competition.
