Designer Masaba Gupta can't help but gush about her father, West Indies cricketing legend Vivian Richards. The retired Antiguan cricketer has been appointed as the Envoy for the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Masaba took to Instagram to re-share a video posted by the Commonwealth and commented that her father was 'cool'. The video shows Viv, suited up, talking about his cricketing career and the Commonwealth.
Posting it, she wrote, 'Why are my parents SO. DAMN. COOL ?! I can’t keep up. But I have a feeling my daughter will,' referring to her mom, actor Neena Gupta and daughter Matara.
Viv Richards was appointed as the official Envoy for the 2026 CHOGM, to be held in Antigua and Barbuda from November 1 to 4 this year. In the video, he speaks about his 1976 match at the Oval, where he scored 291 runs.
He also spoke about his Caribbean heritage and said, 'The Caribbean…we have so much to offer. As you know, most of the Caribbean islands have been in the Commonwealth as well. We’re from a place where the weather is as good as any.'
