"Having Disney+ Hotstar and Fancode sharing broadcasting rights has never happened before, but it feels great that we could do the same as our belief is to reach the maximum number of cricket fans and engage with them and get them closer to the icons of the game. There is a lot of excitement, be it the cricketers themselves or the fans, and we are happy that we are at the centre of this. The primary objective of this league has been to connect with every cricket fan and bring forth a nostalgic factor and bring back the excitement among the fans. Huge Indian and Asian populations in the US and Australia are there to be tapped along with a global footprint, and we are glad that we are able to connect with them and more," said Legends League Cricket CEO & co-founder Raman Raheja.
