Excited but ticket prices are too high for Indian fans to travel to UK. Why can't they organize one edition in India? Our stadiums would be packed for these legends!

India vs Pakistan on July 20 - already marked my calendar! Hope Raina and Yuvi recreate their 2011 WC magic. These veterans still have more fire than some current players 😅

As an expat in London, thrilled to see ABD and Gayle play again! But surprised no women legends included - Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami deserve this platform too.

Star Sports better not show too many ads during matches like they usually do. Want to enjoy every ball of these legends' final innings. Quality broadcast please!
