1st ODI: Indian Team To Wear Black Armbands In Memory Of Aunshuman Gaekwad
CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award: The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will be wearing black armbands in memory of Aunshuman Gaekwad, who passed away on Wednesday, during the ODI series opener against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium on Friday. “Team India is wearing black armbands today in memory of former Indian cricketer and coach Aunshuman Gaekwad who passed away on Wednesday,” said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an official statement after the toss.
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 of India in the 2000 Champions Trophy on BCCI’s request, where they lost to New Zealand in the final.
Gaekwad, 71, was suffering from blood cancer, and travelled to King’s College Hospital in London for further treatment, before returning to his hometown Vadodara in June. He passed away at the Bhailal Amin General Hospital around 10 pm on Wednesday night.
