One thing is certain: any true cricket fan knows what WCL is. From trending across social media to debates on news channels, and even urgent agenda meetings at the PCB headquarters, the World Championship of Legends (WCL) has dominated the cricketing conversation for the past two weeks.
But the big question remains – was it social media hype because of the India-Pakistan geopolitical situation, or is WCL truly real cricket entertainment?
The answer is clear: WCL is far more than exhibition cricket.
The level of competition and intensity in WCL is exceptionally high, because it is not only about legends who have retired from international cricket – it also features active franchise players from around the world.
From the likes of Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Lynn, Moeen Ali, Wayne Parnell, and D’Arcy Short, to the legend himself AB de Villiers, WCL brought together stars who could still smash 100m sixes and bowl at 140+ km/h.
And speaking of AB de Villiers – the man fans call an “alien” – he is still diving in the field, scoring explosive runs, taking stunning catches, and putting his body on the line to win matches.
WCL 2025 has delivered everything a cricket fan could ask for:
– A bowl-out after 18 years
– Nail-biting last-ball finishes in the semi-finals
– A stunning chase by India Champions to reach the knockouts
This tournament has been a complete package of entertainment and pure cricketing drama.
Harshit Tomar, the visionary behind WCL, recently stated his ambition to bring the very best players in the future – even expressing hopes of having MS Dhoni in the tournament one day.
One thing is for certain: if there is any league after the IPL where Dhoni might even show interest to play, it will be WCL – because of the high level of competition and the unique pride of playing in country colors.
In one of the viral videos, Harshit Tomar mentioned that Dhoni is ‘one in a billion’ and that he will do everything possible to bring Dhoni to WCL. He added that if he could convince AB de Villiers to return to the field after four years, he will certainly try for Dhoni too.
As the final between South Africa Champions and Pakistan Champions kicks off today, cricket fans worldwide are bracing for an epic clash.
In short: WCL is not just exhibition cricket. It is high-quality, thrilling, and absolutely worth watching – a tournament that may have gone viral for the wrong reasons, but has earned attention for the right ones: pure cricketing excitement.
