Former Indian skipper Sachin Tendulkar is often called the 'God of Cricket'. No other batter has scored more runs than Tendulkar in international cricket history. He is the only cricketer to score 100 international tons and was the first cricketer to score an ODI double hundred.

Tendulkar retired from cricket in 2013, but has played several exhibition series ever since. He led his team the SRT Blasters, against the late Shane Warne's Warne's Warriors, in the three-match Cricket All-Stars Series, which took place in the US in 2015.

In 2020, he traveled to Australia to participate in the Bushfire Bash. Later that year, he captained the India Legends to victory in the 2020-21 Road Safety World Series.

Yuvraj Singh was one of the players advertised for the Legends League last year. However, he did not play any matches for the India Maharajas team. He is yet to confirm his participation for season two.

Fans enjoyed his six-hitting in the Road Safety World Series last year. Yuvraj's presence will boost the entertainment level of the LLC T20.


#3 Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir has not played any matches since his retirement. The former Indian cricketer has shifted his focus to commentary and politics. He is currently associated with the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL as a mentor.

Considering how Gambhir performed in the last few seasons of his IPL career, fans hope to see him batting in the middle once again. The southpaw led the Kolkata Knight Riders to their maiden IPL trophy in 2012. He bettered his record, leading the franchise to another triumph in the 2014 edition of the competition.

With Virender Sehwag already confirmed for Legends League T20, fans will be in for a treat if Gambhir makes himself available for this competition.
