3rd Test: Indian players wear black armbands to pay tribute to Dattajirao Gaekwad

Team India players were seen wearing black armbands on day three of the third Test against England in Rajkot to pay tribute to former India captain Dattajirao Gaekwad who died on Tuesday.

Gaekwad, who was India's eldest Test cricketer at the time of his demise, passed away at the age of 95. He played 11 Tests and captained India during the 1959 tour of England. Under his leadership, Baroda also secured the Ranji Trophy in the 1957-58 season, defeating Services in the final.
