Former India captain Kapil Dev comes to help fellow cricketer Anshuman Gaekwad who is currently battling blood cancer. Gaekwad is battling blood cancer and is admitted to a hospital in London, as revealed by Sandeep Patil earlier in the month. The former India opener asked for help as he is financially struggling but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to respond. However, his teammate Kapil Dev decided to donate his pension to help with his treatment.
Kapil Dev urged others to help Anshuman. He is also hoping that BCCI will respond soon and take care of his finances.

“It is sad and very depressing. I am in pain because I have played alongside Anshu and can't bear to see him in this state. No one should suffer. I know the Board will take care of him,” the former cricketer told Sportstar.
“We are not compelling anyone. Any help for Anshu will have to come from your heart. He took blows on his face and chest when standing up to some of the ferocious fast bowlers. Now is the time for us to stand up for him. I am sure our cricket fans will not fail him. They should pray for his recovery,” he added.
