The first season of the Legends Cricket League got commenced on Thursday in Muscat. In the first match, India Maharajas were seen locking horns with the Asia Lions, with the latter opting to bat first and setting an above-par target of 176 runs in front of India Maharajas. After the first innings, when India Maharaja’s team came out to bat, Lions wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal once again brought back old memories.
Actually, Kamran Akmal has had a habit of dropping catches easily even while playing for Pakistan and something similar was seen in the first match of this league.

After the dropped catch, a lot of fans were seen trolling Kamran Akmal and writing that the world has changed but Kamran Akmal has not changed. At the same time, if we talk about this league, then Maharaja’s team is currently missing the services of Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh.
