The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2024 has been a star-studded tournament with several retired legends of international cricket locking horns with each other, representing their respective nations.
After the league stage and the semi-finals, Pakistan Champions and India Champions have qualified for the finals in England. A lot of media attention and brouhaha has been surrounding the entire tournament as several superstars like Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Shoaib Malik and Brett Lee were involved.
Pakistan and India cross swords with each other in the high-voltage finals on 13th July 2024 at Birmingham.
In this article, we take a look at 3 players who can win the player of the match award in the WCL 2024 finals:
1. Yuvraj Singh (India)
The captain of India, Yuvraj Singh, turned back the clock in the semi-finals of the World Championship of Legends 2024 against Australia champions. He went all guns blazing as he scored 59 runs in just 28 balls.
Singh fired on all cylinders and deservedly bagged the player of the match award. We can expect him to perform well in the finals as well against the traditional rivals of India, Pakistan.
2. Sharjeel Khan (Pakistan)
Sharjeel Khan has been the top-scorer of Pakistan in this competition. He has amassed 209 runs in this tournament and is a force to reckon with.
The last time these two sides had crossed swords with each other in the league stage, Sharjeel Khan dazzled with a knock of 72 runs in just 30 balls. His knock was packed with 7 fours and 5 sixes and he had a terrific strike-rate of 240.
Khan had won the player of the match award in that game and we can expect him to bat with the same intensity and ruthlessness in this game at Birmingham on 13th July 2024.
3. Harbhajan Singh (India)
Premier off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has been leading the bowling stocks of India in this competition. The veteran has bagged 8 wickets in this competition so far and is the joint- leading wicket-taker in the competition for India.
He is just 2 wickets away from being the leading wicket-taker in this competition.
