Rihanna, who tweeted about the farmer protest recently, was present during the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup clash between West Indies and Sri Lanka.
Rihanna, the Barbados-born pop star who was in the news recently for tweeting about the ongoing farmer protest in India, continues to receive plenty of criticism from Indian social media users. Amidst all this, a video has emerged of Rihanna meeting West Indies superstar and self-proclaimed Universe Boss Chris Gayle. The video is from the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup during the clash between West Indies and Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street in Durham. During the match, Rihanna was seen cheering the West Indies team from the VIP pavilion in Durham. Sporting a pink colored hairstyle and a white top, Rihanna was the center of attraction in the match which Sri Lanka won by a close margin.
During the break, Rihanna entered the West Indies dressing room and met with Universe boss Chris Gayle. The 22-second video shows Rihanna getting an autographed bat with Chris Gayle and she is happily posing for the cameras with Chris Gayle. In the aftermath of her farmer protest, this video has now gone viral. West Indies and Sri Lanka battled it out in a close contest and it was Sri Lanka who came out on top with a close 23-run win. Avishka Fernando hit a century and solid knocks from Kusal Perera and Lahiru Thirimanne helped Sri Lanka put up 338/6. In response, Nicholas Pooran's gutsy century and a knock of 51 from Fabian Allen kept West Indies in the hunt but when Angelo Mathews removed Pooran, Sri Lanka had won for the third consecutive time against the Windies in World Cups.
