Kapil Dev’s Emotional Message to Anshuman Gaekwad: ‘Don’t Let Us Down’
Former India cricket captain Kapil Dev has shared an emotional video message for Anshuman Gaekwad, who is battling cancer. Kapil’s message comes after he urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to provide financial assistance to Anshuman, who was struggling to arrange funds for his treatment.
In his message, Kapil recalled the good times he shared with Anshuman on the cricket field. He remembered Anshuman’s captaincy and his impressive double century against Pakistan in Jalandhar. Kapil urged Anshuman to continue his fight against cancer, reminding him of his fighting spirit on the field.
“I know you are going through a rough time, but it doesn’t matter, we have all gone through rough times in life,” Kapil said. “Difficult times come and go, but I know that you are a fighter. Come on, cheer up and try to live a life, whatever God has given you.”
Kapil acknowledged that everyone has to leave this world one day, but he encouraged Anshuman to keep fighting. “We all have to go one day, but the best part about human beings is fighting it out the way you fight it out on the cricket field,” he said.
Kapil expressed his love and support for Anshuman, saying that the entire cricket community was proud of him. He promised to celebrate with Anshuman once he recovers.
“We had a good time. You just look after yourself. It doesn’t matter whatever happened, it happened for good, and I think you are a wonderful person,” Kapil said. “We had great stories to talk about. We have a lot to talk about, but firstly you need to get well soon. We will have coffee together and if nothing, then we can have a little drink together as well.”
