Preview:
The inaugural season of the Legends T20 League is here and it is the India Maharajas and the Asia Lions who will play the tournament opener. There is a buzz around the tournament and understandably so as several retired cricketers will be back in cricketing action and some of the most celebrated rivalries in cricket will be reignited.
With stars like Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan among others in the India Maharajas side and Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi, Sanath Jayasuriya, Muttiah Muralitharan, Kamran Akmal and Chaminda Vaas among others in the Asia Lions team, this is set to be a blockbuster of a game.

Key Players
Analysis:
The pro fantasy tip for this game is to try and include players who have had some cricket heading into the competition. Sehwag seems to be an exception since every time has had these one-off opportunities after his retirement, he has scored big, so he walks into the side. Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan have had some cricketing experience and so have players like Tillakaratne Dilshan so they won't be too bad an inclusion in the Fantasy team. Manpreet Gony too showed his utility not only with the bowl but even with the big hits lower down the order. Not too much data and stats given as these are retired cricketers but finalise the XI only once the actual XIs are out.
