Legends League Cricket has been a great spectacle at Qatar in Doha. This is the third season of the League. On Wednesday, there was a thrilling game between the India Maharajahs and the World Giants. Maharajas could score only 136-9 in their 20 overs. They got their thanks to Suresh Raina’s 49 off 41 balls. The southpaw hit two fours and three sixes in his knock.
After the game, Raina was asked a question about a potential comeback to the Indian T20 League after his performance. To which the former India cricketer gave a witty reply. “Everyone wants you back in the Indian T20 League after your performance tonight in Legends League Cricket,” a reporter asked in the post-match press conference.
Suresh Raina replied, “I’m Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi. I’ve taken retirement (laughs)”. This was a reference to Afridi, who took retirement many times but made comebacks in his international career.
Maharajas were supported by Maninder Bisla, who scored 36 off 34 balls with four fours. Irfan Pathan made a quickfire 25 off 20 balls, with one four and two sixes. Brett Lee picked up 3-18 in his three overs. Chris Mpofu picked up 2-22 in his four overs. Tino Best picked up 2-27 in his four overs.
Yusuf Pathan picked up 2-14 in his four overs for the Maharajas
In the second innings, Chris Gayle got the Giants off to a great start. The West Indian made 57 off 46 balls, with nine fours and one six. Shane Watson came in at number 3 and scored 26 off 16 balls with five fours. In the end, it was enough as the Giants won the match by 3 wickets. This was the third defeat for the Maharajas.
Yusuf Pathan was the pick of the bowlers for the Maharajas. The former India all-rounder picked up 2-14 in his four overs. Irfan was very expensive with the ball as he conceded 38 runs in his 3.4 overs. This edition of LLC is back to the original format as it was in the first edition.
