description: "Sonny Ramadhin, CM was a West Indian cricketer, and was a dominant bowler of the 1950s. He was the first of many West Indian cricketers of Indian origin, and was one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1951. He is most famous for his performance in the West Indies' 1950 tour of England, which was immortalised in the song \"Victory Calypso\". He was also well known for his ability to turn the ball both ways and he was also largely known for using three short-legs along with close in fielders on the off-side during his playing days in order to exert more pressure on the batsmen. He was referred to as \"a small neat man whose shirt-sleeves were always buttoned at the wrist\". He was the last surviving member of the 1950 West Indies team that secured the West Indies' first-ever Test series win in England."
