As Indian cricket fans saw their heroes perform powerfully on the major stage, the competition swiftly gained international attention.
“I’ve always seen this tournament as a way forward for cricket to have its future through its senior cricketers,” said Harshit Tomar, founder of the World Championship of Legends, in describing his vision for the competition.
Seeing cricket’s own heroes reenact the same magic that made them timeless has been gratifying and fulfilling. We are passionate about our cricket heroes, and we have always aimed to host them with the utmost care and skill,” he continued.
