WATCH: Ravi Shastri’s rare pictures with Viv Richards and Malcolm Marshall Image

Ravi Shashtri took to social media to share some pictures from his playing days with West Indies greats Malcolm Marshall and Sir Viv Richards.

“Brothers in arms. The best I played against. Privilege and honour – with Malcolm Denzil Marshall and Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards,” Shastri tweeted along with the two photographs.

The camaraderie between players of the West Indies and India has been often spoken about over the years and this tweet from Shastri shows the respect between the two as well.

Viv Richards represented West Indies in 121 Tests and 187 ODIs. He scored 8,540 runs in Test cricket, with 24 centuries and 45 fifties under his belt. In ODIs, he scored 6,721 runs including 11 tons and 45 half centuries.

Malcolm Marshall, on the other hand, played 81 Tests and 136 ODIs in which he scalped 376 and 157 wickets respectively.
