Legends League Cricket champions will receive 2 crores in prize money, according to the organisers, who on Tuesday unveiled the prize fund for the current season, which is being played for the first time in India. The news was made at a press conference in Jaipur prior to the grand finale, which was also attended by Raman Raheja, CEO, and Co-Founder of Legends League Cricket, as well as Irfan Pathan, captain of the Bhilwara Kings, and Gautam Gambhir, captain of the India Capitals.
At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the exciting action that spanned 15 days and featured some of the best cricket players in the world will come to an end when India Capitals play Bhilwara Kings in the championship game.
"It's been wonderful to watch these legendary cricket players in action as they give every game their best with a fierce sense of competition. There will be an exciting final tomorrow between the Bhilwara Kings and the India Capitals. The league has a total prize fund of 4 crores, out of which the second-place team, Gujarat Giants would receive 50 lakh and the runners-up, 1 crore "Speaking to the press, Raheja stated.
William Porterfield, who has scored the most runs in the league, and Fidel Edwards, who has taken the most wickets, are both on the roster for the Pathan-led team. Former Ireland captain Porterfield has accumulated 255 runs at a strike rate of 144 from six games, and Edwards has claimed 10 wickets from seven contests. Shane Watson of Australia and Yusuf Pathan, a former all-rounder for India, are both in excellent form and have helped the squad succeed.

"We've played some extremely competitive cricket, and we're looking forward to playing tomorrow with the same aggressive style. Win or lose, the game goes on. The first group to make it to the championship was India Capitals. The genius captain is Gautam Gambhir. It will be difficult to compete with him, "said Pathan.
However, India Capitals won the points race and finished first. The two most productive players for them thus far are leg-spinner Pravin Tambe and Hamilton Masakadza, who have combined for 255 runs in just six games. In six games, Tambe has removed nine batsmen. Ross Taylor, a former New Zealand captain, and Ashley Nurse will play in the game following their outstanding performances in the qualifier.
Bhilwara Kings are the most dangerous and balanced side, said Gambhir. Whether it's the opening game or the championship game, we play them all with the same intent. Additionally, I'll try to contribute some runs to the team's success. Bowlers have little margin for mistake when players like Yusuf Pathan and Irfan are in rhythm, so you have to bowl your best ball. I hope we succeed in that.
