TCL, the global top-2 TV brand has come together with ESPN, the world’s leading creative sports channel, to create ‘Born a Legend’ series in India and across the globe.

I am sure the inspirational story of Kuldeep Yadav, one of India’s most loved cricketers, and how he overcame his initial disappointments to make a place in the Indian national cricket team will encourage millions of sports lovers across the world to believe in their dreams.”
