In a heartfelt message resonating with billions of cricket fans worldwide, legendary West Indies cricketer Sir Viv Richards expressed his unwavering support for Team India in the ongoing T20 World Cup with a special social media post featuring star batter Virat Kohli.
The Indian cricket team, still unbeaten, are the favourites to win the 2024 T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma is leading his boys in Group 1 of the Super 8 round.
With a final game against Australia still left on the cards, the men in blue's qualification to the semi-finals is more or less certain, regardless.
That being said, India recently won against Bangladesh by 50 runs to extend its unbeaten run in the tournament. And for the fielding medal ceremony, the team invited none other than legendary former West Indies cricketer Sir Vivian Richards.
Sir Vivian Richards graced the Indian team dressing room and awarded Suryakumar Yadav the fielding medal for the game. The former cricketer also delivered a speech to acknowledge India's quality of cricket and success so far in the T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Viv Richards also posted a photo of him with Virat Kohli from the fielding medal ceremony on his Instagram account and said that if West Indies fails to advance to the semi-finals, he will wholeheartedly support the men in blues for the title victory.
Indeed, Richards' endorsement is significant, considering his stature in the cricketing world. His words are likely to boost Virat Kohli's and his teammates' morale ahead of the pivotal clash against Australia.
Virat Kohli especially needs all the support and prayers, considering the form he has carried in this mega ICC tournament.
