Turning_track Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Ajit Wadekar passed away today after his battle with cancer. He was the skipper of the Indian side which got series victories in West Indies & England in 1971. He played 37 tests between 1966 & 1974 in his career. He was involved in many capacities as a player, captain, coach, manager & chairman of selectors as well. My heartfelt tribute to his family & friends.

Switchblade Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Quote http://www.dnaindia.com/cricket/report-ajit-wadekar-former-india-cricket-captain-passes-away-at-the-age-of-77-2650348 Former Indian cricket captain Ajit Wadekar passed away at the age of 77 on Wednesday, An aggressive left-hand batsman, Ajit Wadekar's name will forever be linked with 1971 when he led the Indian team to historic triumphs in the West Indies and England. Wadekar made his first-class debut in 1958-59 but had to wait eight years before playing for India in 1966-67. He played 37 Test matches for India. He established himself in the Indian team and was a tower of strength to the Indian batting for seven years. He was one of the best No. 3 batsmen in the history of Indian cricket and one of the finest slip fielders. R.I.P UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
