Sir Garfield Sobers Dies At 89: Career, Records, And Lasting Legacy
Cricket in the 20th century was littered with great players, but by universal consent two stand head and shoulders above the rest - Australian batsman Donald Bradman and West Indian all-rounder Garry Sobers, who has died aged 89. A great innings has come to an end. In our hearts, now and forever, Sir Garfield Sobers, West Indies Cricket posted on social media on Friday. In a poll of 100 cricket experts in 1999, both Bradman and Sobers were chosen in Wisden's Five Cricketers of the 20th Century with the West Indian all-rounder garnering 90 votes. Bradman had an extraordinary 100 votes and yet before his own death in 2001, the Don paid the ultimate tribute to Sobers. He is, in my opinion, the greatest cricketer of all time, said the Don. That tribute is based not just on the statistics or on style -- of which Sobers had plenty -- but on the breathtaking breadth of his cricketing ability. As a batsman Sobers scored 8,032 runs in his 93 Tests at an average of 57.78, numbers that on their own that would guarantee him a place in any pantheon. On top of that, Sobers was a bowler, who took 235 wickets at 34.03 runs each. Sometimes he would open with fast left-arm but, if the pitch was breaking up, he would switch to the left-arm spin -- orthodox or wrist -- that first brought him to the attention of the West Indian selectors as a teenager. He was also a lightning fielder, taking 109 Test catches, often at slip but, as captain, he would place himself in the danger zone at short-leg when he brought off-spinner Lance Gibbs into the attack. The bloke could do just about anything on a cricket field except umpire, Australian all-rounder Alan Davidson told The Cricket Monthly on the occasion of Sobers' 80th birthday in 2016. He was a complete cricketer, magnificent fielder, bowled all types of bowling, and when in form, he absolutely decimated great bowling attacks. You could not set a field to him because he just had that innate ability to be able to score runs whenever he wanted to. - Early promise - Garfield St Aubrun Sobers, who was known as both Gary and Garry, was born in Bridgetown, Barbados on July 28, 1936, the fifth of six children. He was just six when his father Shamont, a merchant seaman, was killed when his ship CNS Lady Hawkins was struck by two torpedoes from a German U-boat off the North Carolina coast. Sobers showed immense early promise in several sports. He made his debut for Barbados against the Indian tourists as a spinner in January 1953 aged just 16. He played against the MCC tourists a year later and, after just two first-class games, was selected as a replacement for the ill Alf Valentine for a Test debut against England at Sabina Park in March 1954. The tourists won by nine wickets but Sobers made an early impression, removing Trevor Bailey in his first over, and taking 4-75 in the tourist's first innings. - Record breaker - Four years later he shifted himself on to another plane against Pakistan in Kingston, breaking a world record in the process. Since 1938, Len Hutton's 364 against Australia at the Oval had stood as the highest individual score in Test cricket. Sobers, in his maiden Test century, made 365 not out, setting a record that would last until another West Indian Brian Lara made 375 against England in 1994. In the tied Test in Brisbane in 1960-61, he scored a blistering 132 which set the tone for a memorable series. It was absolutely one of the greatest innings I have ever seen in my life, said Davidson. He didn't just beat the field. He split the field. His placement was just incredible. Sobers succeeded Frank Worrell as West Indies captain for the 1964-65 series at home to Australia and led the hosts to their first ever series win against the Aussies. Results were mixed under his captaincy, which lasted until 1972 when he handed over to Rohan Kanhai, but with Sobers' hand on the tiller, West Indies cricket continued to develop and evolve into the dominant force of the late 1970s and 1980s. As Sobers aged so his influence on the field waned but he still stroked 254 for the Rest of the World at the MCG in 1972 in what Bradman described as probably the greatest exhibition of batting ever seen in Australia. Outside the international arena, Sobers helped South Australia win the Sheffield Shield and played for Nottinghamshire in England's county championship. In 1968, while facing Glamorgan bowler Malcolm Nash, he became the first player to hit six sixes in one over - a feat only equalled once since in first-class cricket by Indian all-rounder Ravi Shastri in 1985. Sobers retired from Test cricket in 1974 and was knighted a year later. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The International Cricket Council honoured him in 2004 when with the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the annual world player of the year but it is the testament of Bradman which will mark him as one of the greatest cricketers.

College Vidya Brings Together Eminent Experts to Launch Board of Mentors for Career Guidance
Board of Mentors , a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at strengthening the expertise of its Career Development Advisors through mentorship from distinguished leaders across education, leadership, public service and personal development. By bringing together accomplished professionals from diverse fields, the initiative seeks to make career counselling more informed, contextual and outcome-oriented for learners exploring online higher education. College Vidya launched its Board of Mentors, bringing together industry leaders to strengthen career guidance and empower informed higher education decisions The Board brings together Dr. Vijender Singh Chauhan , educator and public speaker; Himeesh Madaan , leadership coach; Amogh Lila Das , author and spiritual leader; Naveen Kasturia , actor; and Ravi Kapoor , former Indian Revenue Service officer and career mentor. Collectively, they bring decades of experience spanning education, communication, leadership, entrepreneurship and public service, perspectives that are increasingly shaping career success but remain largely absent from conventional admissions counselling. Commenting on the launch, Rohit Gupta, Co-founder and COO, College Vidya , said, "Choosing a degree today is choosing a trajectory for your working life, and that calls for guidance far more informed than traditional admissions counselling was ever built to give. The Board of Mentors is our answer to that gap, a continued investment in the judgment of our Career Development Advisors so every learner gets guidance grounded in where their field is actually headed." Through structured mentoring sessions, interactive workshops and regular knowledge-sharing engagements, the mentors will work closely with College Vidya's Career Development Advisors to deepen their understanding of learner aspirations, evolving career pathways and changing employer expectations. The initiative is designed to equip advisors with sharper industry context and broader perspectives, enabling them to guide learners with greater confidence and clarity. Learners, in turn, receive advice that is better aligned with evolving career opportunities and industry expectations. Himeesh Madaan, leadership coach and member of College Vidya's Board of Mentors, said, "Young people today have access to more opportunities than ever before, but not always the right direction. That guidance gap is real, and I am glad to contribute in whatever way I can to help bridge it through this initiative." Ravi Kapoor, former Indian Revenue Service officer , career mentor and member of College Vidya's Board of Mentors, said, "I have mentored lakhs of students over the past decade, but individual efforts can only go so far. Joining College Vidya's Board of Mentors gives me an opportunity to extend that impact through its Career Development Advisors. It is a thoughtful way to reach and support many more learners." The launch comes at a time when the need for quality career guidance has never been greater. According to College Vidya's Career Guidance Gap Report, 51.6% of learners do not consult a trained career counsellor before making a higher education decision, despite an unprecedented expansion in learning pathways and career opportunities. The findings reinforce the need for structured, expert-led counselling that helps learners make informed academic and professional choices. ' Yahan Sab Gyaani Hain ' campaign featuring Dr. Vijender Singh Chauhan and renowned actor Satish Ray . Through humour, the campaign highlights a familiar reality that while everyone has advice to offer, not everyone is qualified to guide life-changing academic and career decisions, reinforcing College Vidya's commitment to expert-led career guidance. Since its inception, College Vidya has helped more than 1.25 lakh learners explore and enrol in UGC-entitled online and distance learning programmes. With the launch of the Board of Mentors, the company is reinforcing its commitment to raising the standards of career guidance and enabling learners to make better-informed decisions in an increasingly dynamic higher education landscape.

1st ODI: Axar Patel Picks Career-best 4-62 As India Restrict England To 258
Axar Patel: All-rounder Axar Patel brought out his career-best performance of 4-62 as Joe Root was left stranded on the other end at 76 to guide England to 258 all out in 47.5 overs in the first ODI against India at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham on Tuesday. England bounced back from a dramatic middle-order collapse to post a competitive total after Joe Root and Liam Dawson put together a fantastic 121-run partnership for the seventh wicket in the opening ODI against India. Ben Duckett scored 43 off 45 balls, and Jacob Bethell added 14 off 31, giving England a strong start. They managed to put up 61 runs for the opening wicket while effectively handling Jasprit Bumrah's opening spell. This was Bumrah's first ODI game in 968 days. Gurnoor Brar struggled in his first spell but changed the game after switching ends. He was brought back in the 13th over and dismissed both openers in the same over, giving Duckett a send-off and triggering England's collapse. Bumrah made an impact right away, catching Harry Brook at first slip for just 1 run after returning to the attack. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna tore through the middle order, taking two wickets in one over. Jos Buttler's landmark 200th ODI ended disappointingly as the England captain fell cheaply. Sam Curran also lost his wicket with a poor shot, leaving the team in trouble at 80/5. Will Jacks, with 20 off 19, tried to shift the momentum back, but Shivam Dube took his second ODI wicket when KL Rahul made a stunning one-handed catch behind the stumps. With England in serious trouble, Root and Dawson led the recovery with their impressive 121-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Dawson reached his first ODI half-century, while Root notched his fourth consecutive score of over 50 in the format. Their effort steadied the innings and gave England's bowlers a total to defend. Axar Patel eventually broke the dogged resistance in the 44th over, getting rid of Liam Dawson for a career-best 68 off 83 balls and ending a valuable 121-run seventh-wicket stand with Joe Root. But Root took advantage of a reprieve when Shivam Dube dropped a simple return catch off his own bowling and went on to remain unbeaten on 76 from 76 balls, taking England past 250. Jofra Archer added a quick 12 from six balls towards the end, but Adil Rashid and ODI debutant Josh Tongue both fell in the 48th over, meaning Roots innings was cut short as England were bowled out for 258.
