Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar will soon be seen back on the cricket field, taking part in the inaugural edition of the International Masters League (IML). This exciting T20 event, featuring six teams, will be played later this year across three venues in India. Conceptualized by Tendulkar and another Indian batting icon, Sunil Gavaskar, the IML is poised to bring back some of cricket’s greatest players in a new format. Gavaskar will also serve as the league’s commissioner.
Sachin Tendulkar, now 51, was last seen in action during the Road Safety World Series in 2022, where he captained India Legends to victory against Sri Lanka Legends in Raipur. This new venture marks his much-anticipated return to the cricketing scene.
