Ajit Wadekar was the coach of the team in the 1990s, when Kapil was part of the team.
Another great of the game and former captain Kapil Dev was fortunate enough to play under Ajit Wadekar in the 90s when he was the manager/coach of the Indian team. Kapil Dev, who won the Prudential World Cup in 1983, paid tribute to one of the giants of the Indian team.
“Wadekar established a course few had traversed in Indian cricket. He overcame big teams in 1971, made us proud, and then crafted dominance at home, spin being the weapon. He was a giant when it came to reading the game,” Kapil said in an interview with The Hindu.
“The Bombay school of cricket was so well ingrained. I admired him for reaching an enviable stature in the bank that he worked. Not just on the field, he was a master off it too,” raved Kapil.
