While former India batter Mohammed Kaif covered a lot of ground near the fence before taking a diving catch and made the fans nostalgic about his brilliant fielding skills, the swashbuckler Yusuf Pathan has been playing as if he has never retired.Stars like Kevin O’Brien and Ashley Nurse have also hit scintillating centuries.All this has generated a tremendous response from the fans, said Raman Raheja, the Co-Founder, and CEO of Legends League Cricket.”We have received a tremendous response both from the in-stadium audience and TV ratings.
