Sachin Tendulkar
‘It's incredibly tough to process that Sir Garry is gone. I've been looking back at the memories we shared over the years, from him handing me the Player of the Tournament trophy at the 2003 World Cup, to his warm words when he felicitated me for the century milestone. He truly was the ‘One and Only'. Going to miss him immensely.'

Virat Kohli
‘Cricket has lost one of its greatest. Rest in peace, Sir Garfield Sobers. Your legacy will inspire generations.'

Yuvraj Singh
‘The first to hit six sixes in an over, Sir Garfield Sobers showed the world that there were no limits to greatness. He did things on the field that most could only dream of, and he did it with grace, humility, and joy.'

Arjuna Ranatunga
‘Sir Garfield Sobers was, without a doubt, the greatest cricketer of all time. I was very fortunate to have met him in my youth. Had it not been for his guidance, I may not have become the cricketer I turned out to be. He saw potential in me when no one else did.'

Michael Holding
‘Among the great cricketers, he stood out. Nobody could do what he did. If you did try, you would fall flat on your face. But he was a very humble man.'
