One of the best batsmen within the historical past of cricket, Sir Vivian Richards gave a scintillating response to Indian cricketer Abhinav Mukund, who mentioned that he was witnessing the highlights of the West Indies legend’s 189* innings towards England for the primary time.
Sir Viv has had a outstanding profession and is extensively thought to be one of many biggest batsmen of the sport. But the ODI innings of 189 not out towards England in 1984 stays the largest spotlight of his profession.
While wickets stored falling on the different finish, Richards grabbed one finish and scored runs on the different finish. At one level, West Indies have been faltering at 166/9, however the right-handed batsman acquired his group out of bother, enjoying an unbeaten knock in 170 balls to take his group to a complete of 272.
He then claimed two wickets as West Indies bundled out England for 168 to seal the match by 104 runs.
On the eve of the T20 World Cup semi-final between England and New Zealand, a bored Abhinav determined to spend a while watching the highlights of Sir Viv’s knock for the primary time. Abhinav clearly appeared impressed and shared on Twitter, “There is no cricket and randomly watching highlights of old games on YouTube, a little ashamed to say this is the first time I’m playing Vivian Richards. 189* I am looking! What an innings my god, that too from 166/9. Any other suggestions from you guys on what to look forward to?”
To this Richards replied, “I suggest you start watching all the highlights of my batting and bowling, my kids.”
Mukund then shared an inventory of the most effective innings performed by Richards which he has stored on the watch record and thanked him for responding and making his day. Richards responded once more, this time praising Mukund’s record.
I counsel you begin watching all my batting and bowling which is my lad https://t.co/guxJy3D6zg
