Key Players

Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar will lead India Legends

Sachin Tendulkar, arguably one of the greatest cricketers the world has ever seen, is one of the most crucial players in the Indian squad. Sachin will open the batting alongside his old teammate, Virender Sehwag. Last year, the former Indian batsman scored just 36 runs in his two outings which included scores of 36 against West Indies Legends and a duck against Sri Lanka legends.

Irfan Pathan

Irfan Pathan led India to a victory against Sri Lanka legends

Although the inaugural edition of the tournament was called off after just four matches last year, the fans were treated to some swashbuckling hitting from the former Indian all-rounder, Irfan Pathan. Reeling at 62-4, chasing a target of 139 against Sri Lanka legends, it was Irfan Pathan’s knock of 57 runs in just 31 balls that guided India to their second victory.

Virender Sehwag

Sehwag will open the batting alongside Sachin Tendulkar

Back in his playing days, Virender Sehwag was one of the most feared batters in the world cricket because of his attacking mentality. He forms a vital part of the India Legends squad. He was instrumental in guiding India to a victory against West Indies last year, after he scored 74 runs in just 57 balls.
