Players from the Indian cricket team, like Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane and others met the West Indian legend Sir Viv Richards, ahead of the first cricket Test between India and West Indies.
The first of the four match Test series will begin on Thursday and will be played at the Sir Vivian Richards stadium in Antigua.
