Former India cricketer Anshuman Gaekwad, who has served the game in different capacities after his retirement as a player, died on Wednesday after a long battle with cancer. He was 71.
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.
The BCCI, senior national team head coach Gautam Gambhir, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered Anshuman Gaekwad as a thorough "gentleman" after he passed away following a prolonged battle with cancer. Gaekwad, who served Indian cricket as a player, coach and selector, succumbed to blood cancer on Saturday night. He donned the Indian jersey in 40 Tests and 15 ODIs. Member of the 1983 World Cup-winning side and current BCCI chief Roger Binny, also a one-time teammate of Gaekwad, said the cricketing community will miss his contribution.

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.

It does not take long for Anush Agarwalla to understand if his horse, Sir Caramello, is feeling nervous, excited or happy. After all language is not a barrier, if a relationship is built on harmony and trust. The 24-year-old Anush is the first Indian equestrian to qualify in individual dressage event at the Olympic Games, beginning July 26. As he gears up to compete in Paris, Anush is not worried about the results. He just wants to "fly" with Sir Caramello when he enters the arena. Such is the bond between the two that taking care of his horse is more important than taking care of himself.
