India Champions owner Sumant Behl hosted a party on Friday night amid the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) Season 3, bringing together several members of India's World Cup-winning teams.
A Star-Studded Reunion
The gathering witnessed a reunion of India's 2011 ODI World Cup-winning players, including Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Yusuf Pathan and Piyush Chawla, who came together under one roof. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, a member of the country's inaugural T20 World Cup-winning team in 2007, was also present at the party. The reunion brought together former Indian cricketers who played key roles in the country's memorable triumphs on the global stage, amid the ongoing WCL Season 3.
Recalling Historic Triumphs
India’s 2007 T20 World Cup journey was a dramatic underdog run led by the newly appointed skipper MS Dhoni, featuring a bowl‑out win over Pakistan, big Super 8 victories, a famous semi‑final triumph over Australia, and a tense five‑run win against Pakistan in the final to claim the inaugural title. Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Robin Uthappa were part of that inaugural T20 World Cup win.
India’s 2011 World Cup campaign was a nine‑match march of resilience, iconic performances, and clutch moments that culminated in MS Dhoni’s historic six to win the title on home soil. Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Yusuf Pathan and Piyush Chawla were part of that home World Cup win.
India Champions in WCL Season 3

After that, the Yuvraj Singh-led Indian side suffered a 21-run defeat against England Champions. Now, the Indian side's next opponents are the table toppers and defending champions South Africa. AB de Villiers is leading that Proteas side and is in red-hot form after starting the season with a 39-ball 70 against West Indies Champions, and then he followed that with an unbeaten 111 against Australia Champions.
