CLOSE-IN: Aunshuman Gaekwad – The Daring Maratha From Baroda (IANS Column)
![]()
July 31, 2024 was a sad day for Indian cricket and for many former and present cricketers. The reason was the untimely demise of one of the gutsiest cricketers who ever played the game, Aunshuman Gaekwad.
He was a daring cricketer with roots from the historical times of the Maratha. Facing the fastest of bowlers sans a helmet and never flinching from the head and body blows that he withstood was the hallmark of his career. However, one forgets that he possessed all the skills and techniques as well along with it.
