WCL 2025 draws 409 million viewers, retaining its position as the second-most-watched cricket league worldwide. AB de Villiers’ comeback and the Pakistan vs South Africa final create a global buzz.

The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 has once again generated a high level of globally focused cricket fanfare, further affirming its stature as the second highest pooping cricket league in the globe. The tournament was viewed by an astonishing 409 million patrons all over the world, a proof of a 20% increase from last season, at least as indicated by an announcement detailing their press release by the organizers of the tournament. The expanded popularity of the tournament is remarkable considering it fell short of a long-anticipated India-Pakistan throwdown.
However, the absence of the traditional rivalry only intensified the chatter surrounding the tournament on social media. Fans had terrific debates on Instagram, YouTube, and X discussing professional players who performed well and memorable moments. An unforgettable moment was the return of AB de Villiers - his performance rekindled nostalgic memories of cricketing glory days and kept audiences captivated.
