Legends League Cricket: Gautam Gambhir to play in Season 2

Gautam Gambhir, one of India's most accomplished openers, will play in Season 2, Legends League Cricket has confirmed. The former Indian batsman's aggressive batting style has made him one of the most sought-after players across all three formats of the game.

"I am glad to share that I have committed to take part in the upcoming Legends League Cricket from September 17th onwards. I am excited in anticipation of being on a cricket field once again. It will be a privilege and an honour to rub shoulders once again with the glitterati of world cricket," Gautam Gambhir said.

Gambhir had participated in two of India's World Cup winning teams in 2007 and 2011. His 97 runs in the 2011 World Cup final is still remembered with fondness.
