Arguably one of the best cricketers of all time, Sir Viv Richards could murder any bowler on his day. He showed the world what aggressive batting was all about. In an illustrious career which spanned over 17 years, the Antiguan smashed 35 centuries in all formats and featured in both the World Cup-winning West Indian squads.

Masaba Gupta, his daughter, wanted to become a tennis player when she was young, but then priorities changed and she ventured out for a career in fashion designing.

Masaba is recognised for her glitzy style of apparel designs which are a mix of contemporary and traditional features with modernity taking the upper hand. She is also the director of well-known Indian designer label, Satya Paul.
