Bishan Singh Bedi meets Gary Sobers, Exclusively on NewsX
Bishan Singh Bedi meets Gary Sobers, Exclusively on NewsX

MUMBAI: NewsX brings exclusive interview of the cricket legend, Sir Garfield Sobers, with Bishan Singh Bedi in association with Airtel. Sobers talks from the heart about cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and much more.

A giant of a cricketer and one of the humblest people you will ever meet, Sobers is modest about his monumental achievements, achievements that have made him the greatest all-rounder ever in the game. “My job was to play for the West Indies as a team player, not as an individual. And I’ve always tried to portray that,” he says. “Runs, records and averages never meant anything to me; if they had, I would have achieved a lot more.”

Another legend of the game also came up during the conversation – Sachin Tendulkar. “Sachin is something very special. He is a great player and has a brilliant cricket brain,” says Sobers.

Comparisons between Sachin and Brian Lara are nothing new. But for Sobers, Sachin is the clear winner. “That is a man who is not only good but he thinks as well. And this is what the game is all about. This boy thinks a lot better than Brian.”

But it is not just Sachin who has taken Sobers’ fancy. “Sehwag has taken a place in my heart. I like the way he bats. I enjoy watching him bat,” he says.

However, when it comes to himself, Sir Gary would rather play with a straight bat. Asked by Bedi how he would like to be remembered by lovers of the game, Sobers replies, “As a person who played the game and tried to play it the way it should be played.”

Watch 'Sobers vs Bishan', the historic TV event, at 8.30pm on Wednesday, 10 March. Only on NewsX.
