Bajan pop superstar Rihanna turned out to support the West Indies during the International Cricket Council (ICC) 2019 World Cup in England and the men’s cricket team couldn’t be happier with her appearance.

The Windies, who were playing their final group game against Sri Lanka on Monday, July 1, fought valiantly at the Riverside Ground in front of thousands of fans – one of which was the ‘Needed Me’ hitmaker.

After

the game, Rihanna went to the locker room, where she was greeted by a beaming

Jamaican star all-rounder Chris Gayle.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Gayle said as he hugged the ‘Love On The Brain’ songstress warmly, handing her a signed cricket bat, before stopping to immortalize the moment in photos and videos.

A video

of the encounter has been making the rounds on social media, as fans of both

stars basked in the contagious buzz surrounding Rihanna’s visit.
