The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023’s on-field altercation between Royal Challengers Bangalore player Virat Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants coach Gautam Gambhir has dominated news. Many former cricket players have weighed in on the topic, sparking a lot of discussion.
On Wednesday, Kohli posted an old interview of West Indies star Viv Richards to social media with the caption “The Real Boss” as the description. If a T20 league similar to the IPL existed during Richards’ time, he expressed a wish to participate in it after he finished playing Test cricket.
He discussed his passion with the game’s shortest format in an interview with Cricket District and expressed his desire to participate in league play. With a strike rate of 86.07 in Test matches, Richards was regarded as one of the most explosive hitters of all time.
