Garry Sobers, widely regarded as one of cricket's greatest all-rounders, has died at the age of 89, West Indies Cricket announced on Friday.
Known for his aggressive top-order batting, the ability to bowl medium fast and spin, and excellent fielding, Sobers represented West Indies in 93 Tests in an international career spanning two decades, from 1954 to 1974.
He scored 26 centuries, and his knock of 365 not out against Pakistan in 1958 was the highest individual score in a test innings until Brian Lara broke his record in 1994.
