Vivian Richards is counted among the greatest batsmen in world cricket. In modern cricket, all the big batsmen of the world consider Vivian Richards as their ideal. All batsmen are his fans. There are also big batsmen from Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli. Sir Vivian Richards has been a witness to the West Indies era in which his team dominated the world cricket. This was a period when there was one dangerous bowler in world cricket. Like today, there was no technique to measure the speed of balls. Otherwise the results would be surprising. Well, Vivian Richards made batting easy even during that dangerous bowling period. He used to come to the crease eating chewing gum and would score a couple of runs one by one and would score a lot of runs on the scoreboard. He did not wear a helmet against big bowlers. Now the same Vivian Richards says that while playing for the country, he was ready to die in the field.
In a conversation with Shane Watson, this was said: Nowadays there is a situation of lockdown due to corona. Everyone is full of time. Keep yourself positive in this difficult time. In such a situation, often two big players are talking to each other and sharing stories of each other's careers. Vivian Richards also said this with Australian veteran all-rounder Shane Watson. He said that many players in the world love their sport immensely. How dangerous the drivers drive in Formula One racing is so dangerous. He asked Shane Watson if there could be anything more dangerous, in response to which Watson said to play the ball coming from a speed of 150 km without a helmet. Vivian Richards used to do this. Indian cricket lovers remember Sunil Gavaskar for this. Who faced the world's most ardent bowlers without a helmet.
Everyone's trial of Sir Vivian Richards 'aggression: Vivian Richards' game was different. He was a nightmare for bowlers around the world. Richards played 121 Test matches in his 17-year career. In this, he scored 8,540 runs. Which included 24 centuries. He scored 6,721 runs in ODI cricket. Which includes 11 centuries. At one time, Vivian Richards was in possession of all records in cricket. In 1977, he was awarded the Wisden Cricketer of the Year. In 1983, when India won the World Cup by defeating the West Indies, that match also came into India's grip when Madan Lal dismissed Vivian Richards. His charismatic catch was caught by Kapil Dev. Otherwise, before that he was taking 33 runs off 28 balls, taking the Caribbean team towards the hat-trick of victory in the World Cup.
