The cricket world mourns the loss of two legendary figures, Dattajirao Gaekwad and Mike Procter. Dattajirao Gaekwad, former India captain and the country's oldest Test cricketer, passed away at the age of 95. He had a distinguished career, playing in 11 Tests and leading the team during India's Tour of England in 1959. Under his captaincy, Baroda also clinched the Ranji Trophy. His legacy includes his son Anshuman Gaekwad, who followed in his footsteps as India's captain and later as a coach. To honor him, Team India will wear black arm bands during the third day of the 3rd Test match against England. Mike Procter, South Africa's legendary allrounder and the first coach of the post-Apartheid era, also passed away at the age of 77, following complications during heart surgery. Procter was celebrated for his principled stance and immense talent, notably achieving six consecutive centuries in 1971 ahead of the Australian tour.
