Former Indian Test cricketer Dilip Sardesai passed away in Mumbai on Monday due to multiple organ failure.
He had been admitted to the Bombay Hospital after he complained of chest infection on June 23.
The 66-year-old played 30 Tests between 1961 and 1973, amassing just over 2000 runs with five centuries, including an innings of 212, at an average of just under 40.
The steady batsman was best remembered for the stellar role he played with Sunil Gavaskar [Images] in piloting India to its historic first Test as well as series victory over the West Indies [Images] in the Caribbean islands in 1971 under Ajit Wadekar.
