New Delhi [India], July 7 (ANI): After the tremendous success of last year, the World Championship of Legends (WCL) gears up for its highly anticipated Season 2, with all eyes on the reigning champions- Team India Champions, once again led by none other than cricketing icon Yuvraj Singh, according to a release from WCL.
