New Delhi [India], April 9 (ANI): As a huge part of the world remains under lockdown to curb COVID-19 spread, former Australian cricketer Shane Watson came up with the idea of interviewing the all-time greats of the game.
Watson launched his first episode of 'Lesson Learnt with the Greats' featuring West Indies all-rounder Vivian Richards.
"I hope everyone is staying safe and coping okay during these unprecedented times. For all the cricket lovers out there, I wanna put free content out there for everyone to digest in their own time. As the greatest cricketers have shared their knowledge with me, now it is my turn to share that knowledge with you," Watson said in a video post on Twitter.
"The first episode of the Lesson Learnt with the Greats is an interview with my favourite cricketer of all time, the master blaster himself, Sir Vivian Richards. This is his first-ever podcast interview and you would not want to miss it," he added.

Several cricketers have been engaging with fans through social media and doing Instagram Live sessions to stay connected with them. Recently, Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Jasprit Bumrah had a great time with their fans.

T20 WC: Team India survive Bethell scare; book title clash vs NZ

Put to bat first, a fiery knock from Sanju Samson (89* in 42 balls, with eight fours and seven sixes) and cameos from Shivam Dube (43 in 25 balls, with a four and four sixes), Ishan Kishan (39 in 18 balls, with four boundaries), Hardik Pandya (27 in 12 balls, with three fours and two sixes) and Tilak Varma (21 in seven balls, with three sixes) took India to 253/7 in 20 overs. Despite having England down at 95/4, India could not dominate them as Jacob Bethell (105 in 48 balls, with eight fours and seven sixes) and Will Jacks (35 in 20 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) put a counter-attacking 77-run stand for the fifth wicket.
