As former India cricketer Anshuman Gaekwad continues his battle against cancer, the 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev shared an emotional video message for the all-rounder.
Kapil had famously urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to come to Anshuman's aid, after it was revealed that the former India cricketer and coach was struggling to arrange funds for his treatment.
The BCCI then issued an INR 1 crore fund for Anshuman, but Kapil hasn't stopped there. In his fresh message, Kapil urged Anshuman to continue his fight against cancer, while reminding him of the good times the two had on the field. "Hi Anshu, I know you are going through a rough time, but it doesn't matter, we have all gone through rough times in life.
I remember all the good days. The first time? When I played under you, you were my captain. And I remember when I was captain you got two hundred runs in Jalandhar against Pakistan, so good memories.
