This is sad news.
The great Ajit Wadekar is no more.1971 was no less than a World Cup victory. Maybe more….
You will be missed dear captain.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AjitWadekar?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AjitWadekar</a>

One long-ago afternoon, I walked from Babulnath to a Marine Drive Gymkhana to watch Ajit Wadekar bat in some minor league match. He was all elegance, then he actually walked past and shook my hand. Made this kid's month, even my year. Go well, sir. You gave Indian cricket belief.

Ajit Wadekar is rightly honoured for leading India to its first series wins in West Indies and England. And in domestic cricket, he had a fantastic record, not least against my own Karnataka; no batsman so dominated Prasanna and Chandrasekhar as he. RIP.

He beat the West Indies in the West Indies. He beat England in England. He knew how to nurture Gavaskar. He helped India rediscover spin, with Chandrasekhar as his main weapon. He retired too early. As manager, he reminded India how to win again. A true Bombay hero – Wadekar. RIP pic.twitter.com/CBG2U8LmAd
