India Champions, led by Yuvraj Singh, will battle England veterans in their penultimate league match today at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, aiming to salvage pride after being knocked out of knockout contention.
India’s Tough WCL Journey
The India Champions have had a challenging run in the WCL 2025 tournament. Their hopes for a breakthrough win were dashed in their recent match against Australia Champions.
Despite setting a target of 203 runs, India lost by four wickets in a thrilling last-over finish. Irfan Pathan couldn’t defend 13 runs, leading to Australia clinching victory with just one ball to spare.
This follows an abandoned game against Pakistan and a defeat to South Africa Champions, highlighting their struggle to find winning momentum in the tournament.
