Subhman Gill with Sir Garfield Sobers
In Barbados, members of the Indian cricket team, which is presently on tour in the West Indies, met Sir Garfield Sobers and exchanged pleasantries with one of the sport’s all-time greats. Beginning on July 12, the India squad, captained by Rohit Sharma, will play two Test matches in Dominica and Port of Spain. Thereafter, the team will play three ODIs and five T20Is against the Caribbean. “In Barbados & in the company of greatness,” said the caption on a video that the BCCI published of their meeting with the former West Indies skipper. Shubman Gill was then introduced to this West Indies legend and the reaction of this meeting is going viral.
Team India encounters Sir Garfield Sobers, one of the finest players ever. One of the best all-rounders to ever play the game, Sobers, 86, scored 8,032 runs in 93 Test matches. He also claimed 235 wickets with his left-arm bowling.
In addition to Rohit, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Ravichandran Ashwin, and India head coach Rahul Dravid, Sobers was welcomed by his wife.
However, Kohli received the Sir Garfield Sobers Award in 2020 for “male cricketer of the decade.” In their brief exchange, Dravid referred to Gill as “one of our most young exciting batsmen.”
India will begin their next World Test Championship cycle by playing a two-Test series against the West Indies. Following the disappointment of losing the World Test Championship final to Australia recently at The Oval.
Before departing for Dominica Indian team is scheduled to play a warm-up match against a local team.
