Pune-based former India Test player Shobha Pandit, 66, made it to the Wankhede Stadium to cast her vote at the Mumbai Cricket Association elections on Thursday, despite not being in the best of health.

Not in the best of health

Pandit, coping with the after effects of a severe leg injury and a cerebral stroke, travelled to the city and was cheerful despite the long journey. “I almost lost my left leg due to the fault of a doctor. It almost reached amputation stage. I underwent an operation for cellulitis septicemia on my leg in 2013. I also had a cerebral stroke for which I have been given a stick and a belt.
