AB De Villiers is one of finest cricketers of the modern generation and there is hardly anyone in world cricket, who will doubt the talent of the man. He has left a lasting impression both at the international level and in IPL, and his retirement in 2021 from all forms of the game was quite a tough pill to swallow for his fans.

Since the time he announced his retirement, there have been calls for his comeback on the cricket field. Much to the delight of fans around the world, the legend in a video released on his official X handle, mentioned that he will back as a cricketer in the World Championsip of Legends.

What Is World Championship Of Legends? 

World Championship of Legends is a tournament where legends (retired cricketers) from six teams assemble to turn back the clock and make their country proud in a high-profile tournament. India won the inaugural edition where they beat Pakistan and the first edition took place from July 3 to July 13.

The second edition will be played from 18th of July to 2nd of August and the tournament will be played in UK again. The six teams that will take part in the competition are India, Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, England and West Indies. 

Yuvraj Singh led India last time around while Jacques Kallis was the captain of South Africa. AB de Villiers is now likely to replace him as a leader and it promises to be a cracking tournament with plenty of superstars looking to stamp their authority.
