Following his death, Indian cricket player Virat Kohli honored West Indies superstar Sir Garfield Sobers, calling him one of the best individuals the game has ever produced.
The iconic West Indies great, who excelled with both bat and ball and set standards of all-around excellence that are still unmatched by many, leaves behind a tremendous legacy that altered the sport over the course of two decades.
Kohli expressed his sympathies and praised Sobers' enduring impact on cricket on X.One of the finest players in cricket has passed away. Sir Garfield Sobers, may you rest in peace. Generations to come will be inspired by your legacy," Kohli wrote.

Between 1954 and 1974, Sobers played in 93 Test matches for the West Indies, accumulating 8,032 runs at an average of 57.78, including 26 hundreds, and taking 235 wickets.
He was widely regarded as one of the best all-around cricket players due to his prowess as a left-handed hitter, a dynamic left-arm bowler with seam, orthodox spin, and wrist spin, and an outstanding fielder.
His undefeated 365 against Pakistan in 1958, which at the time was the highest individual score in Test cricket and remained the record for 36 years, was one of his greatest accomplishments.He became the first player in first-class cricket history to knock six sixes in a single over against Malcolm Nash of Glamorgan in 1968 while playing county cricket for Nottinghamshire.
Sobers was designated one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the 20th Century in 2000 after being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975 for his contributions to cricket.
The esteemed Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, the ICC's yearly prize given to the best men's international cricket player in all formats, is another way that his legacy endures.
Tributes to Sobers are still coming in from all across the sports world, marking the end of one of cricket's most illustrious eras.
