Cricket mourns Sir Garry Sobers, the greatest all-rounder, dead at 89

New Delhi, Jul 17 (UNI) Sir Garry Sobers, the West Indian icon widely hailed as the finest all-rounder cricket has ever produced, has died at the age of 89, marking the end of an era for a sport he defined with both audacity and grace.
His death has led to a deluge of tributes across the cricketing world, recalling a career that stretched beyond statistics into folklore.
For generations of fans, Sobers’ name will always be linked to one blistering afternoon in 1968 at Glamorgan’s St Helen’s ground in Swansea, where he became the first batsman in first-class cricket to smash six sixes in a single over, six balls in succession that turned a county match into global legend.
