Former India cricketer Anshuman Gaekwad died on Wednesday after a long battle with cancer.
Gaekwad played 40 Tests and 15 ODIs for India.
He was also the coach of the Indian team that finished runners-up at the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy.
Gaekwad was undergoing treatment for blood cancer at the King's College Hospital in London before returning back to the country last month.
The BCCI gave ₹1 crore for Gaekwad's treatment and members of the 1983 World Cup-winning team also did their bid to help the cricketer.
Gaekwad has also played 205 first-class matches in a career spanning 22 years.
