Legends League Cricket 2022, the second season of a tournament which began earlier this year, will kick-start in Kolkata tonight. The first match of the tournament will be an exhibition contest between two teams named India Maharajas and World Giants comprising of shortlisted players from all the four teams.
For the unversed, teams have been increased from three to four for this season. The development has come on the back of an overall restructuring with respect to the teams. Contrary to the first season, three region-wise teams (India Maharajas, Asia Lions and World Giants) have been converted into four franchises (India Capitals, Gujarat Giants, Manipal Tigers and Bhilwara Kings) bought by private business entities.
The squads have been formed in such a way that former Kolkata Knight Riders pair Gautam Gambhir and Jacques Kallis could be seen batting together for Capitals. Similarly, Virender Sehwag and Chris Gayle could be witnessed opening the batting together for Giants. Bhilwara Kings stars Pathan brothers as a part of their squad.
As far as the venues are concerned, the whole of Legends League Cricket’s inaugural season had been played in Oman. Season 2, however, will be played entirely in India (six different cities).
