Sir Garfield Sobers death cricket legend Barbados 365* innings

Sir Garfield "Garry" Sobers, the West Indies cricket icon, died at his home in Bridgetown, Barbados, on 17 July 2026, just 11 days shy of his 90th birthday. He was 89. Sobers played 93 Tests for the West Indies between 1954 and 1974, scoring 8,032 runs at 57.78 and taking 235 wickets at 34.03, a rare all‑round record.

He set a world‑record individual Test score of 365 not‑out against Pakistan in 1958, a record that stood for 36 years, and in 1968 became the first batter to hit six sixes in a single over while playing for Nottinghamshire. Sobers was knighted in 1975 and the ICC’s annual men’s cricketer‑of‑the‑year award bears his name.

Cricket bodies worldwide issued tributes. The ICC said, “Sir Garfield Sobers was a towering figure in world cricket and a true sporting legend.” The BCCI called him “a true icon of the game and one of cricket’s greatest‑ever all‑rounders.” England Cricket posted, “One of the greatest to ever play the game. Forever in our hearts, Sir Garfield Sobers.” Caribbean leaders, including CARICOM, also expressed deep condolences, describing Sobers as a symbol of regional excellence.
