Indian cricket team observed two minutes of silence in Nottingham for the former cricketer and coach Ajit Wadekar, who passed away last night in Mumbai. The silence was observed during the practice hours of the Kohli-led side ahead of the third Test of the ongoing five-match series against England.

Earlier, people from cricket fraternity like Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, and Ravi Shastri took to Twitter to mourn the demise of the cricketing giant. Wadekar, who was considered as India-s finest slip fielders and an aggressive left-hander, appeared in a total of 37 Tests and amassed 2,113 runs at an average of 31.07. He scored his sole century against New Zealand in 1968.
