Was Lucky To Have A Few Conversations With Him, Says Rohit On Gaekwad’s Demise
CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award: The cricketing fraternity in India is in mourning following the demise of former India cricketer and head coach Aunshuman 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.
“I was absolutely devastated to hear that news. I was lucky to have a few conversations with him during the BCCI awards, and on a personal note as well. When I was playing Ranji Trophy, he was there and I had a chance to speak to him when he had a few things to talk about my game as well, which was overwhelming for me because he was such a great cricketer for us."
