Pre-Match Analysis:
India Capitals crowned champions in the inaugural edition of the franchise Legends League Cricket beating Bhilwara Kings in the finals by a massive 104 runs. They will be looking forward to repeating similar performances this year as well. Gautam Gambhir will remain as their skipper while they only retained Ashley Nurse, Ishwar Pandey, and Pravin Tambe. Legendary cricketers Hashim Amla and Kevin Pietersen bring star value to the side.
Irfan Pathan is going to lead Bhilwara Kings for the 2nd consecutive time in the Legends League Cricket. They have retained Jesal Karia, Yusuf Pathan, Dhammika Prasad, William Porterfield, and Rahul Sharma. Shane Watson, their main all-rounder is likely to skip this game due to commentary commitments in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Tillakaratne Dilshan, Prosper Utseya, Ryan Sidebottom, Chris Barnwell, Lendl Simmons, Solomon Mire, and Tim Murtagh are the fresh overseas entrants to the side.
