By TrendingWire Newsroom

Sir Garfield Sobers, widely regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time, has died at the age of 89. The former West Indies all-rounder passed away peacefully, according to reports. Sobers played 93 Test matches for the West Indies, scoring 8,032 runs and taking 235 wickets. He is best known for his record-breaking innings of 365 not out against Pakistan in 1958, which stood as the highest individual Test score for 36 years. Sobers also made history in first-class cricket by hitting six sixes in a single over. His exceptional skills as both a batsman and bowler made him a complete all-rounder, and he was knighted for his contributions to the sport. Tributes have poured in from the cricket world, celebrating his legacy as a pioneer and a true legend of the game.
