G R Vishwanath Sir, is my God of cricket 🏏.

[@kasturirangan1497]

Pure artist. His batting was like poetry in motion. My all time favourite player. Thank you for your interview with my favourite cricketer.

[@ravichandransrinivasan7526]

Vishy is my childhood hero. His way of narrating is as simple and natural as was his batting. Great Man and one of the immortals of the game. Thanks to Vivek for bringing out this fabulous discussion.

[@b.n.arunkumar8116]

Meeting Mr. Vishy and having a photo with him at KSCA Club was a dream come true for me. He is such a humble person he readily agreed for the photo and obliged.

[@ganaphegde7695]

Classical Cricketer and played cricket in true spirit..His 97 not out is one of the Greatest innings in History of Cricket ❤

[@mahessilva7504]

Gosh! Look at those forearms and biceps! Iam Sri Lankan and This great man is still my Indian cricketing hero. As a person who like Vishy is vertically challenged and played a bit of cricket during better days, the square cut of Vishy is sublime! Pure aggression and the holy trinity of cricket, Footwork, Timing and placement!
Never get tired of watching his mastery!

[@Oo-pl9zg]

As Lindsay Hasset said " Little Vishy is my favourite,his arms are like those of the village black smith"!

[@kamavirp4880]

When Vishy got a 100, others wouldn't even get a 50!! Because he scored in difficult wickets, not on batting beauties!!
