The world of Legends Championship 2025 is about to be heightened as the Australia Champions take on the West Indies Champions in what promises to be an exciting battle between two explosive teams who are packed with legendary names that have entertained the world in their T20s. Both teams have major fireworks in store when they meet each other on the field. The West Indies Champions are led by Chris Gayle, the biggest of the big hitters and the biggest of the big characters in sport. The West Indies Champions are guaranteed to enthrall the crowd with their flamboyance and big hits, while the Australia Champions, led by Brett Lee's pace and precision, will need to employ different strategies in order to stop the Caribbean charge.

Players to Watch Out For

Australia Champions

  • Chris Lynn—Lynn is an aggressive starter and can demolish an attack in the powerplay.
  • Shaun Marsh—Marsh is a calm head, technically sound, and can accelerate the innings when needed.
  • Daniel Christian—Christian is a reliable all-rounder who can hit the ball really hard and who bowled a marathon spell at various stages of the game.
  • Brett Lee (c)—The fast bowler brings experience and still bowls fast. Lee can still use the new ball with lethal pace.
  • Nathan Coulter-Nile Nile is a solid and reliable seam bowler who can probably chip in down the order. 

West Indies Champions

  • Chris Gayle (c) - The Universe Boss does not need an introduction, but when Gayle gets going—expect destruction.
  • Kieron Pollard—a match-winner with bat or ball, especially with the mid-innings spells.
  • Dwayne Bravo—The ultimate T20 Swiss Army knife, Bravo is dangerous with slower balls and also with dangerous cameos in the latter part of the innings.
  • Lendl Simmons— A functionally consistent top-order batter, Simmons is a capable anchor that can lay a foundation or hammer an inning when needed.
  • Sheldon Cottrell—the left-arm quick who gives you military salute celebrations when he doesn't take wickets early in the innings—is a world-class wicket-taker upfront.
