Sir Vivian Richards, born on March 7, 1952, in Antigua, is one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the game. He played for the West Indies from 1974 to 1991 and was known for his aggressive batting and fearless attitude. Richards stood out for never wearing a helmet, even against the world’s fastest bowlers, showing how confident and brave he was.....
He scored over 8,500 runs in Test cricket at an average of more than 50, including 24 centuries. In One Day Internationals (ODIs), he scored 6,721 runs with a very high strike rate for his era. One of his most famous innings was an unbeaten 189 against England in 1984, which was a record at the time.....Richards helped the West Indies win the first two Cricket World Cups in 1975 and 1979. In the 1979 final, he scored a brilliant 138 not out. He later became captain of the West Indies and remained unbeaten in Test series as skipper......Richards was also a superb fielder and a natural leader. His confidence, style, and dominance made him a legend. In 2000, he was named one of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Century. His legacy still inspires cricketers today.
