Former India disabled <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/cricket+news+-all">cricket</a> team captain Subhash Chikane, 59, who led from the front to beat their England counterparts 3-0 in an ODI series in 2002, lost his battle with Covid-19 at a Kalyan hospital on Wednesday.
Subhash Chikane lost his mother Rukhmini, 96, on Tuesday. She had succumbed to the pandemic as well.&nbsp;
Subhash Chikane, an all-rounder, used to bowl medium pace with his only hand (right) and was well known for his big-hitting prowess.
He captained the Indian team against England for the LIC Trophy in which the hosts thrashed their opponents in Mumbai, Delhi and Lucknow.&nbsp;
Subhash Chikane was rewarded the Man of the Series award for his all-round performance.
The passing away of Chikane was also a shocker for Ashok Bhole, 53, who was India&rsquo;s wicketkeeper-batsman in the 2002 series. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s so sad. Subhash and I played a lot of cricket together. We will miss him,&rdquo; Bhole told mid-day.com on Wednesday. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Subhash Chikane represented Tata in cricket, kabaddi and carrom, playing with abled sportsmen. Recalling Chikane&rsquo;s fighting approach, his cricket teammate at Tata, Pradeep Raut recalled: &ldquo;We were playing an inter-division match at Parsee Gymkhana around 15 years ago. Subhash came in to bat at a crucial phase when team needed six runs in a couple of balls. He hit a straight six over the sightscreen with his one hand against an able fast bowler.&rdquo;
