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.

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.
