The cricketing fraternity in India is in mourning following the death of former cricketer and head coach Anshuman Gaekwad on Wednesday night, and captain Rohit Sharma paid his tribute to him, adding that it was his good fortune to have a few conversations with him. Gaekwad played 40 Tests and 15 ODIs for India from 1975 to 1987, and went on to be a selector, as well as be the side's head coach from October 1997 to September 1999. He then returned as coach for India in 2000 Champions Trophy on BCCI's request, where they lost to New Zealand in the final.
