Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli have a worldwide fan following. Many cricket experts have also included Gavaskar, Tendulkar and Kohli in their all-time favorites list. However, Padma Vibhushan and yoga and spiritual guru Jagdish ‘Jaggi’ Vasudev aka Sadhguru have a different opinion.
Sadhguru’s all-time favorites are not Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli, but former West Indies cricket team captain Viv Richards. Vivian Richards also has close ties with India. He is the father of Indian actress Neena Gupta’s daughter Masaba Gupta. Sadhguru has been teaching yoga in southern India since 1982.

During the conversation itself, Darren Bravo asked Sadhguru, ‘If you are a big fan of cricket, then who is your all-time favorite cricketer?’ To this, Sadhguru said, ‘My all time favorite cricketer is Vivian Richards. I consider him my all time favorite cricketer not because of his runs and scores, but because of his style. The fearlessness with which he scored runs while playing cricket is the reason I consider him to be his all time favorite.
Responding to a question, Sadhguru said, I play field hockey more than cricket. However, there will be no one in India who has not played cricket. Everyone has played cricket. During this, Dwayne Bravo told him, ‘I have seen you play both (cricket and hockey)’. After hearing this he started laughing. You can listen to the video of the conversation below.
