India Champions will play their last match in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, and they want to finish the tournament with a good win. The team has not won any match so far, but they are still trying their best to end on a high note.
The WCL 2025 started on July 18 and will end on August 2. Matches are being played in Birmingham, Northampton, Leicester, and Leeds. The tournament brings back many old cricket stars who once played for their countries. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has given approval for this event.
India Champions lost their latest match against England Champions at Leeds. England batted first and scored 224 runs. Ravi Bopara played an amazing innings and scored 110 runs from just 55 balls without getting out. Ian Bell scored 54 runs, and Moeen Ali made 33 runs from just 13 balls. Their strong batting gave England a big total.
India tried to chase the target but fell short by 23 runs. Yusuf Pathan played very well and scored 52 runs from 29 balls. Other players like Shikhar Dhawan (17), Ambati Rayudu (28), Yuvraj Singh (38), and Stuart Binny (35) also got good starts but couldn’t score enough to win the game.
Before this, India also lost to Australia Champions. They are now at the bottom of the points table. South Africa, Pakistan, and Australia have already reached the semifinals. India still has one more match left, and it is very important. They will play against West Indies Champions on Tuesday, and they need to win to keep any small hope alive.
Captain Yuvraj Singh said, “We gave our best in all the games. It was a great feeling to play again. Everyone enjoyed being part of the team. Now we want to win the last match and finish strong.”
The India Champions team includes many well-known former players like Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina, and Shikhar Dhawan. They all want to give fans one last good performance.
