“I am looking forward to working with the Delhi Daredevils
this season,” Sir Viv said after his maiden interaction with the team.
“I know the team has many players of proven quality and
others who have immense talent and hunger to succeed at this level and higher.
It will be a great experience for me to be their sounding board and inspire
them to deliver quality performances.”
GMR Sports Chairman Kiran K Grandhi said the decision
to rope in Sir Viv was in keeping with the policy to give the squad the best
support it can possibly get. “As owners of the Delhi Daredevils, we have
always got together the best support staff. I’m sure our fans will also be very
excited that Sir Viv is with the squad.”
GMR Sports Pvt Ltd Head (Cricket) and Delhi Daredevils Team
Mentor TA Sekar said the squad will have the opportunity to be inspired by Sir
Viv. “There are a number of youngsters in the squad who can make the most of
the opportunity to interact with Sir Viv and evolve as cricketers. He was keen
to be with the team at the start of the season but he had prior commitments and
could join us only now.
“One of Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Century and rated by
many, including Sir Ian Botham and Shane Warne, as the best batsman they ever
saw, he set amazing standards for himself with the bat and on the field in his
playing days,” Sekar said. “It is our pleasure and privilege to welcome Sir
Viv.”
