    The highly anticipated Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2024 season is set to kick off, bringing together some of the biggest names in cricket. In a style reminiscent of the Indian Premier League (IPL), an auction was recently held where teams finalized their lineups. While the iconic players had already been pre-assigned to teams, the auction revealed significant roster changes, including the addition of two recently retired international cricketers, Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik.

    Gautam Gambhir Moves to Coaching Role

    One of the most notable changes in this season is the absence of Gautam Gambhir, who led his team to victory in the previous season. Gambhir has transitioned to a new role as the head coach of Team India, leaving a significant leadership gap in his former team. His departure marks the end of an era, but it also opens the door for fresh leadership and new strategies as the tournament progresses.

    New Faces in the League: Dhawan and Karthik

    Adding to the excitement this season are Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik, two cricketing stalwarts who have recently retired from international cricket and the IPL. Their inclusion brings a wealth of experience and talent to the league. Dhawan, known for his explosive batting, and Karthik, a versatile player with sharp wicketkeeping skills, are expected to be key players for their respective teams.

    Konark Surya Odisha

    Led by Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan, who were retained using the Right to Match (RTM) card, Konark Surya Odisha boasts a strong lineup with Ambati Rayudu as their icon player. Notable acquisitions include Ross Taylor and Vinay Kumar, adding depth and experience to the squad. The team is a balanced mix of domestic talent and international stars, aiming to build on their previous performances.

    Gujarat Team

    The Gujarat team, featuring heavyweights like Chris Gayle and S. Sreesanth, has made a strong statement with the direct signing of Shikhar Dhawan. The team also retained some of its key players like Lendl Simmons and Liam Plunkett, ensuring a formidable batting and bowling lineup. With Dhawan’s aggressive batting at the top, Gujarat is set to be a major contender this season.

    India Capitals

    India Capitals, with Murali Vijay as their icon player, secured a well-rounded team through the auction. The addition of players like Dwayne Smith and Colin de Grandhomme strengthens their batting lineup, while the bowling department is fortified with Dhawal Kulkarni and Chris Mpofu. Ian Bell’s direct signing adds a touch of international flair to the team.

    Manipal Tigers

    Harbhajan Singh and Robin Uthappa, retained by the Manipal Tigers, will be the pillars of the team. The team made a significant purchase by acquiring Dan Christian for a hefty sum, bolstering their all-rounder options. With Saurabh Tiwary signed directly, the Tigers have a mix of power hitters and steady performers.

    Urbanrisers Hyderabad

    Urbanrisers Hyderabad, led by Suresh Raina, have retained key players like Gurkeerat Singh Mann and Peter Trego.
