The first edition saw a massive following from India for the players from across the globe involved in the tournament. The second season of the Legends League Cricket is set to up the ante as more than 110 legends from the sport will be participating. The cricket grounds are being decided upon for the league which is set to start on 20 September 2022. Cricketing stars from more than nine countries are taking part in the tournament.
Raman Raheja, Co-Founder, and CEO, of Legends League Cricket, said, "We have been constantly receiving requests from fans to hold the series in India and we are excited to bring the Legends League second season back home. We have the maximum number of cricket fans here in India."
"The first season of Legends League Cricket had maximum viewership from India, followed by Pakistan and Sri Lanka followed by the rest of the world. We hope to give a better experience to our viewers and cricket enthusiasts. We are sure that the cricketing fans will rejoice in our decision to shift the base to India as the excitement of watching live cricket cannot be matched," he added.
