Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on October 06, 1930)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Richie Benaud—the iconic voice behind cricket commentary and a maestro of spin bowling! Born in Penrith, his stylish playing days—claiming 248 Test wickets and amassing over 2,000 runs—inspired generations. The charismatic Australian captain who led his nation brilliantly through many memorable victories was rightly inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2009.

Richie's eloquence off-the-field transformed him from pitch legend into broadcast royalty; fans remain enamored with quotes like: "Marvellous effort that," long after stumps were pulled. Today we celebrate your witty insights, elegant cover-drives—and above all—that signature cream jacket resting timelessly on our screens!
