What an exciting concept! Seeing Dhawan and Praveen Kumar back in action will be pure nostalgia. Hope they bring back that 2011 World Cup energy 🇮🇳 The Asian Avengers team name sounds particularly epic for our subcontinent legends!

Great initiative but ticket prices should be reasonable for local fans. Greater Noida is perfect location - hope they arrange good transport facilities from Delhi NCR. Would love to take my cricket-crazy kids to see their childhood heroes!

Hope they include more Indian legends like Yuvraj Singh or Harbhajan Singh. The Trans Titans team will be tough to beat with Aussie players! 🏏 Just praying the weather holds up in May-June - last year's heatwave was brutal in Noida.

While I love seeing legends play, I hope the organizers maintain proper sports standards. Sometimes these exhibition matches become too casual. Want to see competitive cricket, not just entertainment. That said, can't wait to see Gabbar back in action!

Finally something happening in Greater Noida! The sports complex is world-class but underutilized. This tournament could put it on the map. Hope they show matches on DD Sports too for those who can't afford OTT subscriptions. #CricketForAll

The team names sound like they're from a superhero movie 😄 But seriously, this is what cricket needs - more global events beyond just bilateral series. Hope they include players from associate nations too in future editions.
