Pakistani cricketer Sohail Tanvir expresses his aim to defeat India to win the World Championship of Legends (WCL). He said the team is determined to win the match after Pakistan’s dismal performance in the T20 World Cup 2024.
“We have a great opportunity to reunite with players we’ve shared dressing rooms with for years. When you play cricket professionally, you aim to be competitive,” Tanvir stated.
“There was a great disappointment for people due to Pakistan’s performance in T20 World Cup 2024, so we talked that the Legends league may not have the same level but people will be happy.”
“We saw the response and got the motivation that people are following this league,” he added.
“When we came here, Younis [Khan] bhai, Shahid [Afridi] bhai and all the other players, we talked that people in Pakistan are crazy for cricket. So, our goal was to bring happiness to those who were watching us play. “
“I mean it couldn’t be the same as the World Cup but it would be something. That was and is our motivation,” Tanvir said.
Looking ahead to the final, Tanvir noted the significance of an India-Pakistan showdown. “India versus Pakistan final will always be huge no matter where it is played and which league, people will watch.”

“We won the pool match against them but the final is final. I still haven’t forgotten the final against India in 2007. So, let’s see what happens tomorrow, we will do our best to be on the victorious side,” he concluded.
