WATCH: Rahul Dravid Introduces Shubman Gill As The ‘Exciting One’ To Sir Garfield Sobers: The Indian cricket team, while preparing for their upcoming series against West Indies, encountered an unexpected delight. As they were practicing at Kensington Oval, Barbados, the legend himself, Garfield Sobers, appeared in their midst.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a heartwarming clip of the meeting. What charmed audiences most was Dravid’s introduction of Shubman Gill to Garfield Sobers. The video started with the warm handshake of Captain Rohit Sharma and Sobers, punctuated with a respectful “Thank you, sir”.

The clip then progressed to the most celebrated segment where Virat Kohli had his special moment with Sobers. This footage, featuring two cricketing titans, swept across the internet. Fans lovingly captioned it, “Where one legend meets the other”. However, the excitement didn’t end there. The following moment, featuring young prodigy Shubman Gill, eclipsed everything else.

When Gill approached, Coach Dravid introduced him enthusiastically. “Shubman Gill, one of our most young exciting batsmen,” he declared. This introduction prompted a surprised and pleased “Ohh” from Sobers, much to the delight of viewers. Gill’s wide-eyed interaction, as Sobers introduced his wife, was a joy to behold.
