The Legends League Cricket is all set to kick-off with a fierce battle between former India openers when India Capitals’ Gautam Gambhir and Gujarat Giants’ Virender Sehwag will square off against each other to initiate the 20 days long League starting from September 16 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
The action will shift to Lucknow next, where in Harbhajan Singh’s Manipal Tigers will take on Irfan Pathan’s Bhilwara Kings on 18th September. Legends League Cricket will feature these four teams who will be playing twice against each other during the 12-match league stage. There will be four rest days in between the matches.
