The Legends Cricket Trophy 2024 boasts an impressive lineup of cricketing legends, including Chris Gayle, Yuvraj Singh, and Harbhajan Singh, ensuring an electrifying competition. The unique format involves teams fielding five bowlers, each with a three-over stint to showcase their skills, adding an element of intensity to the matchups.

Adding a strategic twist, one bowler is required to step up and deliver four overs by the 60th ball, a decision influenced by performances and tactics.

Adding to the excitement are the Power Play rules, adding an extra layer of thrill to the matches. The bowling Power Play spans balls 1 to 24, while the batting Power Play can be taken after the 60th ball.
