Indian ODI and T20I captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Monday kickstarted the ticket sales for the inaugural edition of Masters Champions League (MCL), as the brand ambassador of the tournament, with a special video message.
Dhoni was also recently named the brand ambassador for MCL's holding company, Grand Midwest Group, for a period of three years.
The MCL is slated to start on January 28 with the first match between two former teammates, Sourav Ganguly's Libra Legends and Virender Sehwag's Gemini Arabians at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (DICS). The final will also be played at the DICS on February 13.

"Mahi is not just an Xtraordinary cricketer but also an Xtraordinary fan, who is keen to see some of cricket's greatest players in action. There is no better endorsement than to have one of the most successful captains like MS being associated with us," said MCL CEO Zarah Shah when asked about Dhoni endorsing MCL as the brand ambassador.
In the video during the launch, Dhoni said: "Today I am in front of you not as a cricketer, but as a cricket fan. I have come here to tell you that our favourite cricketers are coming back to play on the field. Every fan will say one thing for sure...we want sixer."
This is one tournament the fans will certainly look out for after the successful All-stars tournament between Warne’s Warriors and Sachins’s Blasters, which garnered widespread support.
