Renowned Indian cricketer and former national team captain, Bishan Singh Bedi, succumbed to a prolonged illness at the age of 77. Bedi, a revered left-arm spinner, breathed his last, leaving behind a storied legacy in the world of cricket.
Bishan Singh Bedi, who led the Indian cricket team in 22 matches during his illustrious career, actively played for the national side from 1967 to 1979. In his 67 Test appearances, he secured an impressive total of 266 wickets, showcasing his mastery as a spinner. He also participated in 10 One Day Internationals (ODIs) for India, achieving a commendable tally of 7 wickets.
Bedi, considered one of India's finest spin bowlers, played a pivotal role in the nation's spin bowling revolution. Alongside fellow spin maestros such as Erapalli Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar, and S. Venkataraghavan, he contributed significantly to India's first-ever ODI victory. Notably, Bedi's exceptional figures of 12-8-6-1 in the 1975 World Cup limited East Africa to a mere 120 runs.
In domestic cricket, Bedi primarily represented the Delhi team. Following his retirement, he transitioned into coaching and mentoring, nurturing numerous budding Indian cricketers. Beyond his active playing and mentoring roles, Bedi also made a mark as a cricket commentator and pundit.
Known for his candid and unfiltered views, Bedi was often an outspoken critic, unafraid to voice his opinions on various facets of the sport.
Tributes poured in from cricketers across the globe, with former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressing his condolences. "Bishan Singh Bedi, one of our best, is no more. It's a loss to our cricketing fraternity. My deep condolences to his family," Irfan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Throughout his illustrious career, Bedi briefly served as the manager of the Indian cricket team during their tours of New Zealand and England in 1990. He also held the role of a national selector and was a guiding mentor to several promising spinners, including Maninder Singh and Murali Kartik, who valued his unparalleled technical insights and guidance. Bishan Singh Bedi's impact on Indian cricket remains indelible, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations of cricketers.
