    BCCI Mourn Passing Of Former India Cricketer Anshuman Gaekwad

    Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Anshuman Gaekwad, a former Indian cricketer and coach, who succumbed to cancer in Vadodara on Wednesday aged 71.

    A stalwart of Indian cricket, Gaekwad's international career spanned over a decade, featuring in 40 Test matches and 15 ODIs. His resilience was most notably displayed during his gutsy 81 in Jamaica in 1976, where he faced a hostile West Indies pace attack on a treacherous pitch. Another highlight of his career was his marathon 201 against Pakistan in Jalandhar in 1983, where he batted for an incredible 671 minutes.

    In domestic cricket, Gaekwad's record was equally impressive. He amassed over 12,000 runs in more than 200 first-class matches, including 34 centuries and 47 fifties. His contributions to Indian cricket extended beyond his playing days, as he took on various roles, including head coach of the national team, selector, and administrator.
